Great news for Coraline fans! Laika Studios is bringing the fan-favorite stop-motion film back to theaters starting on Halloween.
After its highly successful summer re-release, which grossed over $53 million globally, Coraline is returning in newly remastered 3D and 2D formats. This special re-release is happening through a partnership with Fathom Events in the U.S. and Trafalgar Releasing internationally.
The Halloween re-release kicks off on October 31 in countries like the UK, Ireland, Australia, Canada, Austria, and Ecuador, with more regions to follow.
France and Italy will have special anniversary screenings in November. This is another opportunity for fans to experience the magical and eerie world of Coraline on the big screen, especially for those who missed the summer run.
In addition to watching the film, audiences will also get an exclusive sneak peek at Laika’s upcoming project, Wildwood. David Burke, Laika’s chief marketing and operations officer, expressed excitement about Coraline‘s global success and the film’s 15th anniversary becoming a “cultural phenomenon.”
With Coraline setting box office records in multiple territories, it has now become the highest-grossing re-release in the U.S. over the past decade and holds the record for the highest lifetime gross for a stop-motion animated film in the U.S., surpassing classics like The Nightmare Before Christmas and Chicken Run.
Tickets for the Halloween re-release are already on sale in the U.S., making this a must-see event for both long-time fans and newcomers!
