Spirited Away Set for 800 Theatre Rerelease

Robotech_Master writes "According to the website of Jerry Beck, a 20-year-animation industry veteran and one of the co-founders of Streamline Animation, when Spirited Away won the Oscar, it also "won the right to be re-released to 800 theatres this Friday. Disney will be announcing plans to re-release the Japanese masterpiece in theatres later today." When I emailed Beck to ask him his source, he said it was someone within the Disney publicity department and it would be made public sometime today. According to Spirited Away's numbers page at Rotten Tomatoes, it peaked during its first run at 151 screens. Wonder how it'll do this time around?"

...Actually I'm not at all. Japanese nerd-types (Not ethnically Japanese, but those wannabes) have always bothered me on some level... They're the type that clog the newsstand/newspaper store drooling over the Warhammer 32832AD miniatures. It's just aggravating and annoying to me to hear someone going *overly salivatory voice* "I could get a chaos marines with real jetpack bomber infrared scope grenade launchers for $40, or I could just get the Cockatrice pewter miniature, unassembled for $20. I just can't decide, they're all soooo good..."
