CJ Entertainment entered the fray of film business 20 years ago as an 11% equity stakeholder in the then-fledgling DreamWorks studio. Though the film industry was at a big slump then the twenty years have changed the whole dynamics so much that today CJ Entertainment is the largest film conglomerate in Korea with a 25% share of the theatrical distribution market.Celebrating the twenty years of CJ Entertainment, the film division of the entertainment and media giant CJ E&M, a special retrospective program will be held in major cities in Korea, England and the USA. The special screening was designed to show the company's appreciation to their audiences, both local and global, that have supported CJ releases for the past twenty years.With an opening event on 21 October, the special program in Seoul will run in CJ CGV Apgujeong, until 31 October. Also, for CJ-branded movie fans in England, the London Korean Film Festival will dedicate a sidebar for films that represent past and present works of CJ Entertainment in November. Though it has yet to confirm the format, the special show will also take place in LA, USA in November.Selection of the 20 screeners for the Seoul event will be conducted by local film industry professionals and normal movie-goers. From the 508 titles that CJ Entertainment has distributed for twenty years, the company has short-listed 90 potential screeners for the audience vote. Between 8-21 September, any audience can vote on CGV's mobile webpage. CJ will make the final selection, reflecting the audience vote and film experts' advice.The final selection will be announced by the end of September.
