Spirited Away Set for 800 Theatre Rerelease

Posted by chrisd on 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?"

    Here in England (Britain, Europe) home of the language 'english' you are wrong!

    here is the definition from my Griffin Savers Dictionary (there is no higher authority IMO):

    "disinterested adj. 1. unbiased, not influenced by self-interest 2. uninterested, uncaring .... "

    ...it does offer a caveat but i'm disinterested in that.

    if anyone else has a savers dictionary they can tie this up :^)

    I'm sorry, but I doubt the Biggest Piece Of Crap In The Universe (tm) award will draw a huge crowd.
