Spirited Away Set for 800 Theatre Rerelease

Posted by chrisd on Tuesday March 25, 2003 @09:08AM from the so-good-it-hurts dept.

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?"

Sorry, you got 2 and 3 reversed, and it will cause you problems. It should be:

1. Write free software.
2. Read yet another uninterresting story on slashdot.
3.?
4.Profit!

That would be We Love MPAA Day on slashdot.
In this case, it's We Love the MPAA, Particularly Disney, and We Will Gladly Lie Down and Take It While They Force Us to Accept Delayed Region 1 Discs, and Pay Inflated Prices that Fund Jack Valenti Day.
I'll expect MPAA Is Evil announcements again tomorrow.
