National CineMedia, Hollywood Records & OfficeMax Create A New Concept In Live In-Theatre Concert Events In August. Los Angeles, CA (7/26/2005) -- Teen music sensations Jesse McCartney, Aly & AJ and Bowling for Soup are teaming up for the first annual Summer Break 2K5 ? Powered by OfficeMaxr concert series, in select movie theatres nationwide. Summer Break 2K5 ? Powered by OfficeMax will be simulcast via satellite in Hi-Definition and 5.1 surround sound this August to 86 Regal, United Artists, Edwards and Georgia Theatre Company movie theatres* in 66 markets throughout the country. Each artist will host the Summer Break 2K5 series live-via-satellite, which will feature premieres of concert footage shot exclusively for these in-theatre special events. The shows will also include question & answer sessions with the performers and their fans, as well as exciting behind-the-scenes footage. Teen heart-throb Jesse McCartney kicks off the series on August 2nd, followed by the sister singing duo Aly & AJ on August 16th and Bowling for Soup on August 30th (this event will include a completely LIVE concert performance from Austin, TX). All three events will begin at 7:00pm ET/4:00pm PT. Fans will have the opportunity to submit questions in advance of the concerts through local radio station and fan club promotions. The pre-selected winners' questions will be answered LIVE by the artist during the in-theatre event. Tickets for each show in the Summer Break 2K5 ? Powered by OfficeMax series are $10 and are available at BigScreenConcerts.com or participating theatre box offices. "We created this series for the last half of summer break, when kids have returned from summer camps and their team athletics are nearing completion," said Dan Diamond, vice president, digital programming for National CineMedia. "By partnering with Hollywood Records, OfficeMax, and Hasbro Video Now, we were able to create an exciting and safe new summer entertainment option with a great talent line up." "We've created a tremendous platform to serve up live concert events to the "tween/teen" demographic," said Rob Souriall, vice president of strategic marketing & promotions at Hollywood Records. Summer Break 2K5 ? Powered by OfficeMax events are being promoted in select movie theatres nationwide, on local radio including Radio Disney stations, and as part of OfficeMax's "All the Cool you need for School" back-to-school campaign. OfficeMax will offer coupons good for a free music download card tied to purchase. With the card, fans will be able to download never-before-released tracks from each of the Summer Break 2K5 artists including "Beautiful Soul" by Jesse McCartney, "Collapsed" by Aly & AJ, and an acoustic version of "1985" by Bowling for Soup. The card offers exclusive access to these music tracks, which are not available elsewhere. "The timing of Summer Break 2K5 fits in perfectly with back-to-school shopping," said Ryan Vero, OfficeMax executive vice president and chief merchandising officer.
