Tickets Now on Sale for ‘ParaNorman’s Return to Theaters

Tickets for the theatrical re-release of its award-winning stop-motion animated film ParaNorman this October are now on sale. LAIKA’s second feature film will return in newly remastered 3-D and 2D formats as part of the studio’s year-long 20th Anniversary celebration.

Originally released in 2012, ParaNorman was hit with critics and general audiences alike, garnering multiple accolades including Oscar, BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations, as well as multiple Annie Awards. It was written by Chris Butler (Missing Link, ParaNorman) and directed by Butler and Sam Fell (Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget).

As previously announced, the studio’s new CG-animated short film, ParaNorman: The Thrifting, directed by LAIKA’s lead character designer Thibault LeClercq and written by Butler, will be shown alongside the film. The short features the voices of Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard and Anna Kendrick, reprising her role of Norman’s older sister, Courtney Babcock.

As with the record-breaking 15th Anniversary 2024 re-release of Coraline, LAIKA will bring the remastered ParaNorman to global audiences in partnership with Trafalgar Releasing in international markets, premiering Thursday, October 23, and Fathom Entertainment in the U.S., premiering Saturday, October 25.

Coraline’s re-release last year scored $56 million in worldwide box office, making it one of the most successful global re-releases of the past decade and the highest lifetime gross for a stop-motion film in the U.S.

Synopsis: Norman Babcock is a teenage boy with the ability to communicate with the dead who finds himself forced to save his hometown from a witch’s curse.

Featuring a score by Jon Brion (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), the movie stars Kodi Smit-McPhee as Norman alongside Tucker Albrizzi, Anna Kendrick, Casey Affleck, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Leslie Mann, Jeff Garlin, Elaine Stritch, Bernard Hill, Alex Borstein, John Goodman and more.
