“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 users to a direct link to buy tickets to the advance showings.
