Today Park Circus is delighted to announce that it will be celebrating the 30th anniversary of Disney classic HOCUS POCUS (1993), starring Academy Award®-winning Bette Midler (Beaches, Ruthless People, For The Boys), Primetime Emmy Award-winner Sarah Jessica Parker (Sex And The City, Divorce, The Family Stone), and Kathy Najimy (Sister Act, Rat Race) by releasing it back in cinemas from 29th September 2023, with screenings throughout October in the lead up to Halloween.
The ultimate family-friendly big screen experience this spooky season, screenings will take place at Vue, ODEON, Cineworld, Curzon and Light Cinemas in the UK & Ireland, plus many more to be confirmed soon. Park Circus, who represent the international repertory theatrical rights, is also giving fans in wider territories the chance to enjoy this hilariously wicked favourite, including additional screenings at Pathe in the Netherlands.
You’re in for a devil of a time when three outlandishly wild witches—Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy—return from 17th-century Salem after they’re accidentally conjured up by some unsuspecting pranksters! It’s a night full of zany fun and comic chaos once the tricky 300-year-old trio sets out to cast a spell on the town and reclaim their youth—but first they must outwit three kids and a talking cat! Loaded with bewitching laughs, Hocus Pocus is an outrageously wild comedy that’s sure to entertain everyone!
Doug Davis, CEO of Park Circus, said: “It’s become an annual tradition to experience Hocus Pocus on the big screen. This Halloween, we are thrilled to be marking 30 years of the Sanderson Sisters in style with our biggest celebration of this Disney favourite yet at hundreds of cinemas across the UK and beyond.”
The Sanderson Sisters will put a spell on cinema audiences all over again this Halloween! Don’t miss HOCUS POCUS back on the big screen from 29 September and throughout October by finding a 30th anniversary screening near you: https://parkcircus.com/film/
