Lotte Cinema has announced a vibrant lineup of seven exclusive releases for October under its brand 'Lottipic.' The selection includes a return of classic masterpieces, well-crafted animations, teen horror, and deeply emotional melodramas, promising to cater to a wide range of audiences this fall.
Kicking off the month, the legendary martial arts romance 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' will be re-released on October 7. This Academy Award-winning film is celebrated for its artistic merit and popularity, featuring stunning martial arts action and breathtaking visuals, now available on the big screen with enhanced sound. On the same day, the family-friendly animation 'Dino Family: The Trouble-Making Dinosaur Exploration Team' will debut, showcasing the chaotic adventures of Philip, a mischievous dinosaur who falls into a prehistoric world 100 million years ago.
On October 14, audiences can look forward to 'On the Day Paris Green Shines,' the debut feature from director Shino Miya, known for works like 'Your Name' and 'Garden of Words.' The film captures the poignant journey of three friends over two days as they face the demolition of a fireworks factory, brought to life with unique watercolor-like visuals and expressions of light.
Two diverse genre films will be released on October 21. The classic family film 'Matilda,' which depicts the delightful rebellion of a girl with extraordinary intelligence and powers, will have a solo re-release. Additionally, the teen horror comedy 'The Visible High School Girl,' based on a popular comic that has sold over 3 million copies, will hit theaters. The story follows a high school girl who begins to see ghosts and must adhere to the rule of 'pretending not to see' to survive the ensuing chaos.
On October 28, Aardman Animation's latest clay animation, 'Shaun the Sheep: The Monster of the Pumpkin Patch,' will premiere. The film follows Shaun and his friends as they navigate the chaotic events of Halloween Eve in a pumpkin patch.
Additionally, this October will see the release of the highly anticipated film 'You, Like a Star,' which sold out at the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) earlier this year. Directed by Michihito Fujii, who previously achieved box office success with 'The Remaining 10 Years,' the film features Japanese youth stars Ryusei Yokohama and Suzu Hirose, portraying a poignant romance spanning 15 years.
A Lotte Cinema representative stated, "In preparation for the fall season, we have curated a diverse lineup that transcends generations and tastes, ensuring a variety of audiences can enjoy the cinema experience. We hope you will have a special cinematic experience with content that can only be found at Lotte Cinema."
