Fans Across the U.S. 'Demand' Grease: Sing-a-Long

Fans Across the U.S. 'Demand' Grease: Sing-a-Long

The Top 5 Demand it! (R) Cities Will Be Announced By Noon on Monday, June 14th

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., June 11 /PRNewswire/ --
Fans across the country are "demanding" GREASE: SING-
WHO: A-LONG come to their hometowns.

Paramount's Insurge Pictures will expand the
digitally re-mastered film to 5 additional cities
across the country beginning Thursday, July 15th for
an exclusive engagement. In addition, Paramount will
WHAT: simultaneously launch Demand it!(R) Canada.

The studio will announce the cities with the highest
WHEN: "demand" by noon PDT on Monday, June 14th.

The announcement comes on the heels of Ocala, FL,
John Travolta's hometown, "demanding" to be among
the first select cities to open the digitally re-
mastered, sing-a-long version of "Grease."
Paramount selected Ocala solely based on the results
of an online poll in which fans across the country
could "demand" the musical open in their city. Out
of more than 1,700 cities lobbying for the film,
Ocala, a town of only 53,000, hit No. 1 on the poll
WHY: in record time.

Said Rob Moore, Vice Chairman of Paramount Pictures:
"As we saw with 'Paranormal Activity,' with the
right amount of fan fever, even the smallest towns
can win the right to have the film play in their
town via the Demand it! (R) Program. We are excited to
see which 5 cities top the poll next week."


GREASE: SING-A-LONG will begin playing on Thursday,
July 8th in exclusive showings in 12 markets across
the country. Tickets for these first cities are
quickly selling out, including New York, NY (AMC
Village); Los Angeles, CA (AMC Century City);

Station); Seattle, WA (AMC Pacific Place); Ft.
