The Taormina Film Festival in Italy has scored the world premiere screening of Disney-Pixar’s Toy Story 3, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The festival will debut the film June 12, one day before its United States premiere. The film is set for wide release on June 18.
Held in the coastal town on the island of Sicily, the festival will show Toy Story 3 as its opening night film in the ancient Greek Theatre.
The 56-year-old festival has been building in recent years a reputation as a major launch pad for summer tentpole films. Recent editions of the festival have included international premieres for such films as Transformers and Mission: Impossible II.
