Fathom Events’ Two Night Presentation of ELVIS 50th Anniversary Comeback Special’ Lands Spot as Top- Performing Music Event of 2018

The Event Performed Top 10 at the Box Office for August 16 AND 20, 2018

DENVER – August 29, 2018 – Fathom Events, the leading event cinema distributor that acquires, markets and distributes exclusive cinema events nationwide, presented “ELVIS 50th Anniversary Comeback Special” in 718 movie theaters across the U.S. on August 16 and 20. The two-night event attracted 73,448 attendees domestically and sold another 153,303 tickets (total of 226,751 tickets sold) across 1783 movie theaters in 14 territories, internationally.

Both event dates performed in the top 10 at the box office; the first night secured the fourth highest per-screen average attendance and the second night secured the second highest per-screen average attendance. With such a strong turnout, “ELVIS 50th Anniversary Comeback Special” was the top performing Fathom music event of 2018 and the top performing music event in cinemas worldwide, 2018.

Each screening included the legendary television “’68 Comeback Special,” directed and produced by Steve Binder, plus exclusive bonus content about the making of the special.. Audiences were taken on a walkthrough of the NBC soundstage with insights from Binder, Priscilla Presley and others influenced by Elvis’ music and the making of the iconic Special. The short documentary was architected and produced by Spencer Proffer, of Meteor 17, a partner to Fathom and The Authentic Brands Group {ABG} on this successful project.

Proffer and ABG SVP Entertainment, Marc Rosen, were the producers of the overall event.

“Even 50 years after the original premiere of the special, audiences were eager to experience it on the big screen,” said Fathom Events CEO Ray Nutt. “In partnership with ABG and Spencer Proffer, we were able to create a successful campaign that only Fathom Events can deliver with trailers, in-theater promotional assets, a comprehensive digital campaign, creation of new behind-the-scenes content and a promotional screening in New York. Combined, these tactics brought in a whole new generation of Elvis fans.”

“We are thrilled with the success of the 50th Anniversary Comeback Special event, which is attributed to our incredible team,” said Marc Rosen, SVP Entertainment of ABG. “Building on this momentum, we are working with Fathom and Proffer’s Meteor 17 to produce more one-of-a-kind events for theaters around the world featuring some of our other iconic brands, including Marilyn Monroe and Muhammad Ali.”

“What strikes me most about the success of the Elvis Comeback event is that despite the torrent of content available on television, and some really good content at that, audiences are still compelled to leave their homes to experience something unique, and communally, on the big screen,” said Spencer Proffer, CEO of M17. “This special was made fifty years ago and it still holds up thanks to Steve Binder’s pioneering use of handheld cameras in a concert setting and Elvis at his best - unplugged, playful, raw.”
