Laika's ‘ParaNorman' Is Coming Back to Theaters
If you liked ParaNorman back in the day and wished to see it on the big screen again, you're in luck.
Laika's stop-motion horror movie is getting a one-week theatrical re-release in 2D and remastered RealD3D on October 23 internationally and October 25 in the U.S. The film's return marks Laika's second movie to come to back to theatres following Coraline in 2024 for its 15th birthday, and this will be part of the studio's 20th anniversary celebration. Screenings will also come with The Thrifting, a CG short starring Stranger Things' Finn Wolfhard and Anna Kendrick reprising her role as Norman's sister Courtney.
ParaNorman released in 2012 and was Laika's second feature film. It earned solid reviews at the time, made $107 million, and racked up several nominations between the Oscars, Golden Globes, and animation-focused Annie Awards. Laika's chief marketing officer David Burke called the film 'a breakthrough… bringing it back to theaters in stunning remastered 3D, paired with a brand-new short film, is an invitation for audiences to rediscover the heart and humor of Norman's world—or experience it for the first time.'
'Today, horror has become a shared family ritual, and ParaNorman sits right at the intersection of spooky and meaningful. It's the perfect 'starter horror'—a gateway into genre storytelling that's as thoughtful as it is thrilling.'
Tickets for ParaNorman aren't on sale yet, but when they are, you can get an alert for when to snag 'em here.

Woman Walks Out of Family Dinner After Future In-Laws Say She Is 'Second Place' to Fiancé's Ex
A woman walked out of dinner with her fiancé when his family made a comment alluding that she was "second place" to his ex The Reddit user notes that his family has not gotten over her partner's previous relationship, which ended years ago Now, her future mother-in-law is texting her and telling her she overreacted to what was meant to be a "lighthearted family moment"A woman is wondering if she was in the wrong for walking out on dinner after her fiancé's family called her "second place" to his ex-girlfriend. In a post on Reddit's r/AmIOverreacting forum, a 30-year-old woman writes that she recently had a less-than-pleasant experience at her future in-laws' house, leading her to storm out. At the start of the post, she explains that she and her 32-year-old fiancé have been together for three years, and he was previously engaged years before they started dating. "I've never had any issue with that, it ended long before I met him, and he's always been open about it," she writes. Though she's confident her partner has moved on from his ex-fiancée, his parents seem to be the ones struggling to move on. "His mom still keeps photos of his ex around 'because she was like a daughter,'" the Reddit user explains. "I've let a lot of little comments slide. Until last weekend." What was meant to be a lighthearted dinner quickly turned sour when her fiancé's dad stood up and asked to make a toast. "It started normal, but then he said, 'We weren't sure you'd ever move on after Claire left, but hey, sometimes second place is still a win, right?'" she recalls, noting that "Claire" is her fiancé's ex. "Everyone laughed except me. My face just burned," she recounts. "I put my fork down, got up, and left the room. My fiancé followed me out, apologized, and we left." Though the poster feels like her reaction to the jab was justified, her soon-to-be mother-in-law chastised her for leaving. "Now his mom is texting saying I overreacted and ruined a 'lighthearted family moment,'" she writes. She's now wondering if she may have been too "sensitive" over the comment, asking if she should've let the situation slide. "It's not like I'm jealous of the ex, but I don't think I'm wrong for not wanting to be called a consolation prize," she explains. Read the original article on People
