Twitter Fans to Get Sneak Peek at KATY PERRY: PART OF ME

Katy Perry: PART OF ME from Paramount's Insurge Pictures will get its in-theater debut in the U.S. and Canada on Monday, July 2 with fan sneak premiere events of the 3D film presented exclusively in RealD® 3D in advance of its scheduled theatrical release on Thursday, July 5. Fans who follow @KatyPerry on Twitter were the first to hear from Katy herself about the special screening.

To promote the one-day-only exclusive shows, Paramount and Twitter have designated the hashtag #KP3D Movie Sneak, which Paramount has also sponsored as a Promoted Trend, that will point Twitter's millions of users to a direct link to buy tickets to the advance showings. At each participating location, "Katy Perry: PART OF ME" Twitter Fan event moviegoers will receive pink collectible Katy Perry RealD® 3D glasses and an exclusive pin-up poster.

The promotion continues a unique, never-been-done-before partnership between Insurge Pictures' "Katy Perry: PART OF ME" and Twitter, in which Katy Perry's 22 million Twitter followers have the opportunity to voice their opinions through their own Tweets and be a part of the filmmaking process.

"When we invited Katy's millions of Twitter fans to be part of the movie-making experience, we were overwhelmed by the positive response," said Amy Powell, President of Insurge Pictures. "From Katy's first Tweet announcing the movie, her fans have been incredibly passionate and supportive and we want to make sure they are among the first to see the film they helped shape."

Added Dick Costolo, Twitter CEO: "The use of Twitter throughout the making and release of 'Katy Perry: PART OF ME' illustrates the power of Twitter to break down barriers between artists like Katy and their fans."

The "Katy Perry: PART OF ME" Twitter Fan Premieres will play in 100 locations in 64 markets in the U.S. and Canada. Each location will offer two show times daily: 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Tickets for the Twitter Fan Premieres are on sale today at http://www.KatyPerryPartofMe.com/Sneak .
