FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

First Two Puella Magi Madoka Magica Movies are set for
Theatrical Release across the US


Theatrical Release starts in Los Angeles followed by major cities in the U.S.

SANTA MONICA, CA (September 13, 2012) – This October, Madoka Magica fans will be treated to something special. Following the release of the entire television series on video, Aniplex of America has just announced that the first two Puella Magi Madoka Magica movies Part 1: Beginnings and Part 2: Eternal will debut in the US this October. The not-so-typical story of a middle school girl named Madoka Kaname and her choice to become a magical girl has taken the world by storm. Part 1 and Part 2 of the Madoka Magica movies retells the original TV series and is set for the big screen. There is no doubt both movies will provide a new experience for both fans who have enjoyed the TV series or who are just seeing Madoka Magica for the first time.

Distributed by Eleven Arts, select theaters in five major cities across the US will be having showtimes for both movies. The cost of admission will allow fans to watch both Part 1 and Part 2. For those who attend the Los Angeles showings will receive some city exclusive specials. Los Angeles ticket holders will receive select giveaways on opening night and throughout the scheduled screening times while supplies last. In addition, there will also be exclusive Madoka Magica the Movie Merchandise sold only at the Los Angeles Theater while supplies last.

For a complete set of showtimes and merchandise information, please go to MadokaMagicaUSA.com

I'll probably be interested in going if it's somewhere near me.

Hopefully they'll screen the 3rd film like this too.

Thankfully I'll be able to catch the Los Angeles premiere. I've gone down to the Downtown Independent twice before, for REDLINE and Evangelion 2.0. Definitely looking forward to this, as it is always entertaining to watch it on the big-screen and with an audience of fans.

I don't live anywhere near anywhere that would have anything like this, but I'm always glad to see this kind of thing happen. Hopefully Aniplex gets the movies out over here in a speedy fashion.

I would like someday a movie like this to be in my town...and with subs. I will have to wait for the JP BDs I guess.

For the curious Muse (Taiwan) is running this promo for the movies:
- 1 ticket + JP theatrical program + signed postcard for NT $800 (~$27.31)
- 1 ticket + JP theatrical program + stamp (character?) for NT $800 (~$27.31)

At the moment, Aniplex of America hasn't updated their "Special Merchandise for Sale" section on http://madokamagicausa.com/movie.php.
