-TSUTAYA cooperates with the programming of the movie theater "Amuse Atsugi Movie.com Cinema"-
Culture Convenience Club TSUTAYA Company, which operates TSUTAYA stores nationwide, is pleased to announce that it will be cooperating with the programming of Amuse Atsugi Eiga.com Cinema, a movie theater that opened on the 9th floor of Amuse Atsugi, a new landmark in Atsugi City, on the 26th of last month.
This film will be one of four films to be screened on two screens, and will be produced by the producer of "TSUTAYA Unearthed Goods," which has previously reissued many truly interesting films known only to a few people on DVD. The first film is Wong Kar-wai's masterpiece "Chungking Express," which caused a huge boom when it was released as a new style of Hong Kong film. Next, we will be screening "The Lovers on the Bridge," the final chapter of the "Alex Trilogy" by the genius Leos Carax, which is said to have been modeled after himself. Furthermore, starting next month, we will continue to select the most popular works among our customers through surveys at the theaters and continue to program attractive works.

What is "Amuse Atsugi Movie.com Cinema"?
This is a new type of movie theater that opened on the 9th floor of Amuse Atsugi, a commercial facility that opened in Atsugi City, Kanagawa Prefecture on April 26, 2014. The cinema, which has been extensively renovated and reborn, is run by Digital Plus Co., Ltd. We will also partner with Eiga.com, one of Japan's largest movie information sites, to actively promote the film online and create programs that utilize Eiga.com's traffic data.
What is "TSUTAYA Unearthed Goods"?
This is a "private brand" project in which TSUTAYA and DVD manufacturers will jointly re-release "classics" that are interesting but not available in stores because they are out of print or not yet released on DVD, and sell them in TSUTAYA stores nationwide. In recent years, we have been focusing on customer requests and delivering films to movie fans from TSUTAYA so that they can rediscover the true fun and enjoyment of movies.
