 After initial theatrical release and DVD sales, fan support has caused "Repo!The Genetic Opera" to be played in select theaters for the duration of 2009 and well into 2014, some with "shadow casts" in which a group of actors and performers re-enact the film in front of the big screen while the film is playing on stage, much like the followers of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show".It was re-released in a special screening at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con International.
