  • Mary and the Witch's Flower
    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.

En dag forfølger hun en mystisk kat ind i en nærliggende skov, hvor hun opdager et gammelt kosteskaft og en besynderlig lysende blomst. Blomsten viser sig hurtigt at være magisk og før Mary ved af det, flyver kosteskaftet hende højt op over skyerne og afsted til en magisk skole for troldmænd og troldkvinder. Her møder Mary skolens rektor Madam Mumblechook og den geniale Doctor Dee.
