A newly restored 9 to 5, the hit 1980 workplace comedy starring Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, will return to theaters for a special weeklong theatrical run beginning October 9, with Disney donating net proceeds from each U.S. ticket purchase to The Dollywood Foundation. The proceeds will be used to support Dolly Partonâs Imagination Library.
Tickets to see the newly restored 20th Century Studios film in theaters are now on sale.
The 9 to 5 theatrical re-release was announced today on âGive Like Dolly Day,â a new annual celebration encouraging the world to make a difference in a childâs life and honor Partonâs lifelong mission, inspiring children to âDream More, Learn More, Care More and Be More.â
âGive Like Dolly Dayâ is observed annually on 9/25 â a date chosen as an homage to the filmâs title.
In 9 to 5, a group of female office workers â the all-knowing manager who trained the boss but canât get promoted (Lily Tomlin), a befuddled newcomer (Jane Fonda) and an alluring personal secretary everyone presumes is having an affair (Dolly Parton) â all band together to seek revenge on the man (Dabney Coleman) who is making their lives miserable.
Directed by Colin Higgins and produced by Bruce Gilbert from a screenplay by Higgins and Patricia Resnick, 9 to 5 received an Academy Award nomination for the hit title song written and performed by Parton.
20th Century Studios is releasing the newly restored film in theaters for a one-week engagement, from October 9-15.
