Acclaimed Japanese anime studio BONES (“Cowboy Bebop: The Movie,” “Sword of the Stranger” and “Fullmetal Alchemist”) brings Eureka Seven – Good Night, Sleep Tight, Young Lovers to life for this one-night exclusive event. For almost half a century, mankind has battled a mysterious organism from space called “EIZO.” In 2054, Renton, a young soldier, boards a fighter aircraft battling “EIZO.” The young soldier heads for the battlefield with a dream: to rescue his childhood friend, Eureka, who was kidnapped eight years ago. Fate, however, brings tribulations to test the young love between Renton and Eureka as the final battle with “EIZO” approaches.

“Fathom offers consumers a variety of affordable, one-of-a-kind cinema events, including anime, Off-Broadway productions, opera, concerts and a slate of special live town hall discussions sure to entertain people from all walks of life,” said Dan Diamond, vice president of Fathom. “This agreement with Bandai Entertainment offers anime fans a unique opportunity to experience this highly anticipated event in the comfort of their local movie theater.”
