From the Focus Features press release, here’s Focus Features Chairman Peter Kujawski’s statement:

"“Cinema holds great power. That is the simple belief that has guided us since we asked you to join us on a journey of discovery that began twenty years ago. It has been a voyage motivated by the boundless joy that comes from experiencing the world anew when seeing it through the eyes of others, and it has been steered by the conviction that sharing that experience in a theater with friends, family, and strangers not only delights us, but brings us closer to our loved ones, our community, and the world at large.”"

To commemorate this impactful milestone, here’s a new reel from Focus Features that looks back at some iconic and unforgettable moments. Warning: Prepare for a major nostalgic trip and for your love of cinema to grow:
