DENVER, Oct. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- It's been 10
years since "Mamma Mia!" became one of the most successful
movie musicals in history, and since everyone loves a party –
especially one filled with ABBA music – Fathom Events and Universal
Pictures are bringing the global blockbuster back to the big screen
for two days only: Sunday, November
4, and Tuesday, November
6.
These special presentations of "Mamma Mia!" will not only
feature the original film and its unforgettable music, but will
also include a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes into the
making of "Mamma Mia!" with "Meryl's Big Number," which
explores how the complicated musical number for the title tune was
put together, and featuring interviews with Meryl Streep,
Amanda Seyfried and director
Phyllida Lloyd.
"Mamma Mia!" will play in more than 400 movie theaters
nationwide on Sunday, November 4, and
Tuesday, November 6, at 1:00 p.m. and 4:00
p.m. (local time). Tickets to "Mamma Mia!" can
be purchased online at www.FathomEvents.com or at participating
theater box offices.
Based on the massively successful stage musical that took the
West End and Broadway by storm before playing in more than 50
countries, "Mamma Mia!" is among the 10 highest-grossing
movie musicals ever made, and led to the hit sequel "Mamma Mia!
Here We Go Again" that became a worldwide box-office hit this
summer.
The movie weaves together 20 classic songs by ABBA in a story
about Sophie (Amanda
Seyfried), a young woman who's about to be married on a
Greek island when she discovers a secret that her mother Donna
(Meryl Streep) never told her: Any one of three different
men could be her father. Sophie invites them all to her wedding,
and all three show up: Harry (Colin
Firth), Bill (Stellan Skarsgård) and
Sam (Pierce Brosnan), as do
the backup singers from Donna's old band, Rosie (Julie Walters) and Tanya (Christine Baranski), setting the stage for
non-stop musical merriment.
"'Mamma Mia' is pure joy, and we were tremendously excited when
Universal Pictures invited us to help celebrate the movie's 10-year
anniversary – it's a film for people of all ages to enjoy together,
and one whose bright spirit is completely infectious," said
Tom Lucas, Fathom Events VP of
Studio Relations. "We hope movie lovers will dance, jive and have
the time of their lives by enjoying 'Mamma Mia' on the big
screen."
