Shonda Rhimes

Prolific television creator ("Grey's Anatomy," "Scandal") and author on creativity and empowerment.

The acclaimed travel-themed competitive series, "Jet Lag: The Game," is set to culminate its nineteenth season, titled "Japanorama," with an exclusive theatrical release. This special screening will take place on October 3rd across a selection of Regal, Picturehouse, and Cineworld venues throughout the United States and the United Kingdom. This initiative represents a strengthened alliance between the independent streaming platform Nebula and Cineworld's Regal Global Entertainment, aiming to deliver an immersive cinematic experience to the show's dedicated fanbase.

Following a successful initial screening of the season's debut in London's Picturehouse Cinemas during August, this theatrical finale event is expected to draw significant attention. The ongoing partnership between Nebula and Cineworld also extends to other content, notably including a deal to facilitate an Oscar-qualifying theatrical run for Nebula's short film, "Power Trip." This 26-minute film, directed by Patrick H. Willems, will be showcased at Regal Essex Crossing in New York from September 24th to 30th, featuring interactive Q&A sessions with the talent after each 7 p.m. ET showing. A broader nationwide release at various Regal locations will follow for "Power Trip."

Jack Grimes, Senior Director of Alternative Business Development at Regal, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, highlighting the company's responsiveness to audience passion. He noted the remarkable community built around "Jet Lag: The Game" due to its unique premise and expressed excitement about bringing the finale to the big screen. Similarly, Sam Clements, Marketing Director for Picturehouse Cinemas, shared his delight in continuing the partnership with Nebula, building on the positive reception of the "Japanorama" premiere.

Nebula founder Dave Wiskus underscored the show's inherently social nature, emphasizing the magical experience of uniting fans in a shared theatrical setting. He expressed his excitement about the opportunity to extend this communal experience to a broader audience across numerous cities and theaters. Tickets for this anticipated cinematic event for the "Jet Lag: The Game" Season 19 finale will become available for purchase on September 8th.

This strategic move to theatrical releases for web series and short films signifies a growing trend in content distribution, blurring the lines between traditional and digital media. It offers digital creators new avenues to engage with their audience and provides viewers with unique opportunities to experience their favorite online content in a premium, communal environment. The expansion of this partnership between Nebula and Cineworld is a testament to the evolving landscape of entertainment and the increasing demand for diverse viewing experiences.
