Why it matters
A 2007 Stephen King adaptation getting a 20th-anniversary 4K run in Japanese cinemas shows the revival circuit is now treating mid-2000s horror as repertory material, with Filmarks using the two-person ticket discount to pull groups rather than solo viewers into the theater.

The 2007 sci-fi horror adapts Stephen King and was directed and written by Frank Darabont. Ticket holders get a 400 yen per-person discount when two or more attend; visitor bonuses are planned with details to come.
The anniversary run goes out under Filmarks Horror, the company's horror screening banner, and it comes with a ticket mechanic built for pairs: the Michizure Discount cuts each admission to 1,300 yen from the 1,700 yen regular price when two or more people attend together. The teaser poster announced alongside the dates shows a "DO NOT ENTER" sign and bloody handprints on the supermarket's glass doors.
That image points at the film's setting, a supermarket where townspeople are trapped by the mist and turn on each other. Filmarks says campaigns and original visitor bonuses are planned, with details to be announced later.
