Fathom Events has announced that the film will run for two days in over 450 theaters in honor of Space Jam’s 20th anniversary (via CartoonBrew). The film brought in actors and NBA stars like Michael Jordan, Bill Murray,Charles Barkely, Theresa Randle, Larry Bird, Danny DeVito, Wayne Knight, and Patrick Ewing and paired them with the lovable animated cast of the Looney Tunes.
The Looney Tunes enlist the help of Michael and his friends in an attempt to earn their freedom from an evil alien theme park owner, who sees them as his next big attraction.
“Space Jam has been a family favorite for the last 20 years and is sure to remain so for the next 20 and beyond,” Fathom Events vice president of studio relations Tom Lucas said in a press statement. “This event is the perfect chance for audiences of all ages to view the film as it was meant to be seen—on the big screen.”
In addition to the popular film, fans will also be treated to a Looney Tunes short film called “I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat”.
Space Jam will be showing on Sunday, November 13 at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. and it will show again on November 16 at 7 p.m. You can find out more and buy tickets on their official page.
