Will Spirited Away have a wide release? (1 Viewer)

What's the deal with this movie? Are most of us going to miss out on another excellent foreign film because because Disney (ie:Eisner) doesn't want people to know that there is better animated work than the (mostly) computer generated crap his studio puts out?

I know, maybe I'm being a bit paranoid, but there is absolutely no reason this film should not go into wide release, it's the biggest grossing film in Japanese history.

Eric, it's schedualed for a "step up" release like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Check out

Thanks for the page. No specifics though.

We can only hope they'll do a true nationwide release. The DVD is a no brainer, but there are still films I'd like to see in the theater.

They have the listing for the "second wave" of theaters

Spirited Away is opening tonight in 3 theaters here in the South Bay... and one of them is showing the Japanese w/English subtitled version.

Jeff, I noticed that. None of those theaters are near me.

Hopefully the third wave will be bigger.

I just saw Spirited Away at the Loews theater in Times Square in NYC, and it was Japanese with English subtitles.
