Following Success of 'The Lion King,' Disney Will Re-Release Four Other Films in three dimensional

The storyline from the box office in September wasn't that 'Warrior' made only $a million more total than 'The Debt' gained over Labor Day weekend, but that 'The Lion King 3D' rerelease would be a juggernaut. The Disney reissue capped this area office for 2 straight weekends in September and it has gained $80 million to-date. Consequently, what is the news shojuld not be a surprise: Disney and Disney/Pixar introduced intentions of Tuesday to re-release four past films in three dimensional within the next 2 yrs. Per the pr release, 'Beauty and also the Beast' would be the first classic to find the third dimensional treatment if this hits theaters on Jan. 13, 2012 opposite 'Contraband,' 'Man on Ledge' and 'Premium Hurry, three male-heavy actioners strangely scheduled for the similar weekend. Later the coming year, Disney/Pixar will release 'Finding Nemo' on Sept. 14, 2012. Searching ahead, 'Monsters, Corporation.' will receive a theatrical re-release on Jan. 18, 2013, four several weeks before 'Monsters University' -- the 'Monsters Corporation.' prequel -- hits theaters on June 21, 2013. Rounding the list, 'The Little Mermaid' arrives on Sept. 13, 2013. "Great tales and great figures are timeless, and also at Disney we are fortunate to possess a treasure chest of both," stated Wally Disney Galleries leader Alan Bergman inside a statement. "We are thrilled to provide audiences of any age the opportunity to experience these beloved tales within an exciting new way with three dimensional -- as well as in the situation of more youthful decades, the very first time around the giant screen." Offering more youthful audiences the opportunity to experience these faves inside a cinema is fine and dandy, however it seems Disney has shrewdly cheated what individuals have noted for years: September and The month of january are dead theatrical several weeks and re-giving beloved classics -- especially ones targeted toward kids -- is really a guaranteed method to box office nirvana. Having a "treasure chest" of retro classics, expect this gimmick to increase well past 2013, along with other galleries jumping in to the fray.
