deadline.comIFC Films‘ Memoir of a Snail, nominated in what’s shaped up to be among the most competitive categories of this Academy Awards, is back in more than 500 theaters nationwide Tuesday night.
The one night of screenings of the Best Animated Feature Oscar nominee will include a prerecorded Q&A with the filmmaker Adam Elliot and fellow Australian director George Miller (Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga).
Presenting theaters include AMC, Regal, Alamo Drafthouse, Harkins, Laemmle, City Cinemas, Look Cinemas and National Amusements. “We’re so glad adult audiences continue to discover Adam Elliot’s impeccably crafted, heartfelt story,” said Scott Shooman, head of AMC Networks’ film group. “The film’s sophisticated themes of religion, seeking acceptance, and remaining hopeful amid life’s tougher times are tremendously relevant in this current climate.” The film first opened October 25 and has grossed $627,000 domestically ($1.8 million worldwide).
It’s a tough Oscar path up against Flow, the phenomenon by Latvian director Gints Zimbalodis; Universal’s acclaimed The Wild Robot; Disney’s Inside Out 2; and Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl from Netflix.
