Version of first 2 episodes of new ABC series to premiere exclusively in IMAX® theatres!

DISNEY|ABC, IMAX AND MARVEL TELEVISION FORM INNOVATIVE PRODUCTION, MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT FOR ‘MARVEL’S THE INHUMANS,’ A NEW MARVEL TELEVISION & ABC STUDIOS TV SERIES SET FOR ABC

Version of first two episodes of new ABC series to premiere exclusively in IMAX® theatres for two-week window in late Summer 2017 prior to network run

IMAX Corp. (NYSE: IMAX), Marvel Television, a unit of Marvel Entertainment, and Disney|ABC Television Group today announced an innovative agreement to exclusively premiere the new ABC series “Marvel’s The Inhumans” in IMAX commercial theatres, marking the first time a live-action television series has debuted in this manner.

Under the agreement, a version of the first two episodes of Marvel Television’s new series “Marvel’s The Inhumans”–produced in conjunction with ABC Studios and filmed entirely with IMAX digital cameras–will run worldwide exclusively in IMAX for two weeks at the beginning of September 2017. ABC plans to then premiere the weekly series in fall, with additional exclusive content that can only be seen on the network.

The Inhumans, a race of superhumans with diverse and singularly unique powers, were first introduced in Marvel Comics by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1965. Since that time, they have grown in prominence and become some of the most popular and iconic characters in the Marvel Universe. “Marvel’s The Inhumans” will explore the never-before-told epic adventure of Black Bolt and the royal family.

ABC, IMAX and Marvel Television also intend to work together to create a joint marketing and promotion plan for the series across their proprietary media platforms–which would be the first such cross-platform marketing launch of a television series. Today’s agreement also marks IMAX’s first time as a financing participant in a TV pilot and series.

“This unprecedented alliance represents a bold, innovative approach to launching great TV content for a worldwide audience,” said Ben Sherwood, co-chairman, Disney Media Networks and president, Disney|ABC Television Group. “It highlights Disney|ABC’s unrelenting commitment to finding new and creative ways to showcasing our very best programming and increasing global engagement and reach.”

“This first-of-its-kind multi-platform production, distribution and marketing agreement brings together Marvel Television’s unique brand of entertainment, ABC’s unparalleled audience and IMAX’s brand and global fanboy demographic,” said IMAX CEO, Rich Gelfond. “It also takes our decades-long relationship with The Walt Disney Company to a whole new level, jointly breaking new ground in the industry. We are confident our exhibition partners will be excited to work with us on this innovative launch of a series across the IMAX network.”

“We’re happy to see this unique deal come together, working with our partners,” said Dan Buckley, President, Marvel Television, Publishing & Brand. “In an ever-changing world of distribution and consumption, it’s very exciting to be part of a groundbreaking initiative that takes us to the forefront of this evolution.”

This deal also provides audiences with high-quality, compelling entertainment options during what have traditionally been lulls in the summer blockbuster season. These IMAX audiences also tend to have high engagement and positive response to comic book fare.

Marvel's "Inhumans" skyrocketed to the spotlight of the comic book giant's cinematic universe after an announcement was made that it would be getting special treatment: Not only will the upcoming TV series be shot completely on IMAX, a Marvel first, but it will also premiere its first two episodes in IMAX theaters before becoming a mainstay on ABC. 

According to Comicbook, a THR report just unveiled that Inhumans will have its television debut on Sept. 26 of next year and have a total of eight weekly episodes in the first series. This would mean the "Inhumans" finale will air on Nov. 14, 2017, a Tuesday. This is in addition to the theatrical premiere, which is set for release earlier in September of 2017. The episodes that debut in film, which were shot in large screen format, will not be completely identical to the "Inhumans" TV episodes. According to Collider, the television Inhumans episodes will carry additional content and bonus action sequences, all shot on IMAX cameras. 

Greg Foster, CEO of IMAX, provided further details, saying that the film premiere of Marvel's "Inhumans" will be 80 minutes, or almost the length of a full-length feature. Foster added that it would be screened throughout all territories on or near the 1st of September for two weeks. Foster said, on behalf of IMAX, that the company was hoping for a resounding success that would open the door to additional seasons of Marvel's "Inhumans," as well as deals to create other IMAX-shot television shows. Foster confirmed they were already looking at other opportunities to replicate the unique venture it has with Marvel.

The TV series will be centered on Marvel Comics' royal family characters. But despite being a relatively unknown part of the Marvel Universe, both Marvel and IMAX seem to be holding out high hopes. In fact, Marvel's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." recently moved to a 10 p.m. timeslot on Tuesdays, which may be providing The Inhumans with an opening to become a primetime, flagship series when it finally airs next September.

 

Estreia 17 de Setembro. Nesse dia é dia de Agents of Shield. Vamos a ver se dão as duas no mesmo dia, se Agents passa para outra slot ou se deixa de dar.
