MEDIA ALERT – February 8, 2018 “Mary and The Witch’s Flower” Lands as Top Grossing GKIDS Release and Earns Special Two-Day Encore Screenings February 24 and 26 Due to Overwhelming Fan Demand • WHAT: The debut title from Studio Ponoc, “Mary and The Witch’s Flower,” will get a special encore screening following its successful January 18 premiere in cinemas. Grossing more than $1.1m for the special premiere event with Fathom Events led to the film debuting at number 3 at that day’s box office, with the highest per-screen-average- attendance. The total box office gross following the select theatrical release of the film now stands at $1.9m, making the title also the most successful GKIDS theatrical release in the company’s history. This stunning, action-packed fantasy adventure is the second collaboration between Academy Award®-nominated director Hiromasa Yonebayashi (Studio Ghibli’s When Marnie Was There and The Secret World of Arrietty) and two-time Academy Award®- nominated producer Yoshiaki Nishimura (Studio Ghibli’s The Tale of The Princess Kaguya and When Marnie Was There). Mary is an ordinary young girl stuck in the country with her Great-Aunt Charlotte and seemingly no adventures or friends in sight. She follows a mysterious cat into the nearby forest, where she discovers an old broomstick and the strange Fly-by-Night flower, a rare plant that blossoms only once every seven years and only in that forest. Together the flower and the broomstick whisk Mary above the clouds, and far away to Endor College – a school of magic run by headmistress Madam Mumblechook and the brilliant Doctor Dee. But there are terrible things happening at the school, and when Mary tells a lie, she must risk her life to try to set things right. • WHO: Fathom Events, GKIDS and Studio Ponoc • WHEN: Saturday, February 24, 2018; 12:55 p.m. local time (screened with English dub) Monday, February 26, 2018; 7:00 p.m. local time (screened in original Japanese with subtitles) • WHERE: Tickets for “Mary and The Witch’s Flower” encore will be available online starting today or by visiting www.FathomEvents.com or at participating theater box offices.

Panel I1 Cartoons and Beyond
Panel I1 Auditorium Cartoons and Beyond Maureen Furniss GKIDS and the Diversification of Animated Features in the US GKIDS was founded in 2008 by the directors of the New York International Children’s Film Festival, Eric Beckman and Emily Shapiro. Within the context of the festival, the directors witnessed impressive animated features made worldwide that lacked adequate distribution, allowing the dominance of American-made features to remain virtually uncontested within the US. The first property it distributed was Michel Ocelot’s Azur & Asmir, but the company’s next acquisition, Tomm Moore’s debut film The Secret of Kells, brought it into the spotlight, after the film was nominated for Best Animated Feature by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. In subsequent years, other GKIDS properties have been nominated as well, sometimes beating out well-ranked American features. Stylistically, the films distributed by GKIDS have tended to be a challenge to American work, since the company has focused on 2D animated features that are not in the franchising model of US productions. In 2011, the film acquired theatrical distribution rights for some of the most popular animated features in history, Studio Ghibli features, marking another step in GKIDS’s development; previously, the films had been distributed theatrically by Disney. This paper will summarize GKIDS’s accomplishments and determine how its injection of distinctive work into the American system has impacted US production. My findings will be based on interviews with individuals from GKIDS, as well as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, CARTOON, and other organizations. I will also plan to talk with feature film directors TBA.

Japanese Anime Series Gets Whirlwind Showings in 7 Days
Japanese anime series gets whirlwind showings in 7 days By Howard Pousner [email protected] When Hayao Miyazaki's "Spirited Away" won the Academy Award for best an- imated feature in 2003, it was considered not only a victory for Japanese anime but for hand-drawn anima- tion at a time when comput- ers were taking over "toons" everywhere. The Japanese filmmaker was hailed as a master visual storyteller. Reviewing the fantasy ep- ic in The Atlanta Journal- Constitution at the time, critic Eleanor Ringel Gil- lespie wrote: "If Lewis Car- roll were alive today, and making movies instead of writing books, 'Spirit- ed Away' is the movie he'd make. Not since he sent Al- ice tumbling down that rab- bit hole has there been such a rapturous mix of whimsy and the surreal." More Miyazaki films have played the U.S. since, most notably "Howl's Moving Castle."

Screendollars Newsletter 2020-11-02.Pdf
For Exhibitors November 2, 2020 Screendollars About Films, the Film Industry No. 141 Newsletter and Cinema Advertising Just past 8pm on October, 30, 1938 Orson Welles delivered his famous deep-fake of the American public when CBS broadcast his radio adaptation of War of the Worlds. Based on the 1898 sci-fi novel by H.G. Welles, the main broadcast presented itself as a live report from New Jersey, where Martians had touched down to invade Earth. Some listeners mistook the broadcast as actual reporting on real events, prompting widespread panic. The next day, the 23-year old Welles spoke to reporters at a hastily arranged press-conference to explain that this outcome was entirely surprising and unintended. However, the attention also made Welles famous, establishing his reputation (Click to Play) as a gifted storyteller with the skill to convince audiences to suspend their disbelief in the incredible, one of the fundamental propositions of Hollywood filmmaking. “When they talked about that [Welles] was embarrassed by it, I don’t think so. If you look at that press conference, he’s so contrite, and he’s just acting his brains out, and he’s so clearly delighted.” - Director John Landis commenting on Welles speaking at the press conference after the 1938 broadcast.
