Bleecker Street’s event cinema division Crosswalk and Universal Pictures Content Group have acquired North American and international rights, respectively, to “Twice: This Is For… You.”
The film captures K-pop phenomenon
Twice at London’s O2 Arena during their “This Is For” world tour. It features concert footage and exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the group.
“Twice are a truly global phenomenon, and ‘This Is For… You’ ‘captures everything that makes their live performances so special,” said Helen Parker, executive vice president of Universal Pictures Content Group.
This release builds on the success of “Stray Kids: The dominATE Experience” concert film featuring the global K-pop group Stray Kids, which Crosswalk and Universal Pictures Content Group distributed earlier this year. Paul Dugdale, who directed the film, directed “Twice: This Is For… You.”
“Following the incredible response to ‘Stray Kids: The dominATE Experience,’ we’re delighted to continue our partnership with Crosswalk and Live Nation to bring another world-class K-pop experience to cinemas and give fans around the world the opportunity to experience it together on the big screen,” Parker added.
Dugdale (“Stray Kids: The dominATE Experience,” “Adele: One Night Only,” “Taylor Swift: Reputation Stadium Tour”) and Hannah Lux Davis (ADELA’s “Nicole Kidman” and Ariana Grande’s “thank you, next”) directed the film. The film is produced by Live Nation Studios. Crosswalk will release the film in the U.S. and Canada, and Universal Pictures International across international territories.
