Jackass: Best and Last is heading to cinemas on June 26, 2026, bringing the franchise back to the big screen for what the title suggests is its final theatrical outing. The Paramount release opens one week after Toy Story 5, giving June 2026 two very different films competing for summer audiences.
The Jackass franchise started as an MTV show in 2000 and expanded into theaters beginning with Jackass the Movie in 2002. Four main films followed across two decades, generating over $540 million globally. The last entry, Jackass Forever, was released in February 2022 and earned over $80 million worldwide despite opening during a period of reduced theatre attendance.
Best and Last is described as a combination of the best moments from across the franchise’s history alongside new footage. The title and framing position the film as both a greatest-hits retrospective and a send-off for the main cast, which has visibly aged — and visibly accumulated injuries — across 25 years of escalating stunts.
Johnny Knoxville announced his departure from the Jackass format after Jackass Forever, citing the physical toll of performing at that level. Whether he appears in Best and Last in a limited capacity or only in archival footage has not been confirmed ahead of the June 26 opening.
The theatrical documentary and retrospective format has worked well for other long-running franchises, particularly music acts using concert films to mark a touring milestone. For Jackass, a cinema event anchored in nostalgia and the physical danger on screen may draw audiences who grew up with the show in a way that a streaming release would not replicate.
No specific box office projections have been published ahead of the opening. Its performance will likely hinge on how many of the franchise’s core audience treat Best and Last as a proper send-off to something they watched growing up, and whether the new footage gives them a reason to buy a ticket rather than wait for streaming.
