The 15th anniversary Coraline showings also include an early glimpse of LAIKA’s upcoming film, Wildwood, making it the must-see film event of the summer.

Weekend numbers* for Coraline show an additional $1,314,105 in domestic box office for a cume of $32.5M. Across international markets, the film picked up an additional $672,608 for the weekend. This brings the international tally to $18.7M for a global sum of $51.3M since its re-release on August 15th. In many territories, the 15th anniversary re-release exceeded the original 2009 box office.

Additional markets continue to come on board for the re-release including France (11/1-11/30) and Italy (10/31-11/30).

“Everyone at LAIKA is elated by the global success of the Coraline re-release,” said David Burke, LAIKA’s Chief Marketing & Operations Officer. “In addition to becoming Fathom’s highest-grossing release in the US, Coraline set box office records in multiple international territories, including the UK and Mexico, through our partnership with Trafalgar Releasing. We’re humbled by the millions of fans around the world who came out to experience Coraline in dazzling remastered 3D on the big screen this summer, making the 15th anniversary a cultural phenomenon.

“Many thanks to our partners Fathom and Trafalgar Releasing – and to the legions of loyal fans – for helping cement Coraline’s reputation as a timeless movie masterpiece, one that will be enjoyed for generations to come,” Burke added.

Coraline is a wondrous and thrilling, fun and suspenseful animated adventure. Coraline was written and directed by stop-motion auteur Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas, Wendell & Wild) and stars Dakota Fanning, Ian McShane, Teri Hatcher, Keith David, John Hodgman, and British comedy duo Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders. The film was nominated for the Oscar® and Golden Globe; won the Cristal Award at Annecy and was named one of the best films of the year by AFI. It won three Annie Awards for Best Music, Character Design and Production Design.

11-year-old Coraline Jones (Fanning) is feisty, curious, and intrepid beyond her years. She and her parents (Hatcher, Hodgman) have just relocated from Michigan to Oregon. Missing her friends and finding her parents to be distracted by their work, Coraline tries to find some excitement in her new environment but seriously doubts that her new home can provide anything truly intriguing to her. But when she walks through a secret door in her living room and ventures down an eerie passageway, she discovers an alternate version of her life and existence. On the surface, this parallel reality is similar to her real life – only much better. The adults, including the solicitous Other Mother (Hatcher), seem much more welcoming to her. Even the mysterious Cat (David) now regards her as the center of attention. She begins to think that this Other World might be where she belongs. But when her wondrously off-kilter, fantastical visit turns dangerous and Other Mother schemes to keep her there, Coraline musters all of her resourcefulness, determination, and bravery to get back home – and save her family.
