Oscar-Nominated ‘Memoir Of A Snail’ Back In Theaters For One-Night Event
Tuesday night, IFC Films’ Memoir of a Snail, which is nominated in one of the Academy Awards’ most competitive categories, returns to more than 500 theaters around the country.
A prerecorded Q&A with Adam Elliot and fellow Australian director George Miller (Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga) will be part of the one-night screening of the Best Animated Feature Oscar candidate. AMC, Regal, Alamo Drafthouse, Harkins, Laemmle, City Cinemas, Look Cinemas, and National Amusements are among the theaters that are now showing.
“We are thrilled that mature viewers are still discovering Adam Elliot’s beautifully written, poignant tale,” said Scott Shooman, director of AMC Networks’ film division. “The film’s complex themes of religion, pursuing acceptance, and maintaining optimism in the face of adversity are incredibly pertinent in today’s world.”
Since its October 25 premiere, the movie has made $627,000 at home and $1.8 million abroad. It has a difficult Oscar trail against Netflix’s Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, Universal’s critically acclaimed The Wild Robot, Disney’s Inside Out 2, and Latvian filmmaker Gints Zimbalodis’s hit, Flow.
