Warner Bros. Animation's 2018 film The Death of Superman and its yet-to-be released sequel Reign of the Supermen will be hitting select cinemas for a special two-day double feature event in January 2019.

According to ComicBook.com, the screenings, which are being hosted by Fathom Events, will take place on Sunday, Jan. 13 and Monday, Jan. 14, with both films being screening in succession. Tickets for the event are available at Fathom's website.
