Fandango MovieGoers Get Early Narnia Viewing

Most moviegoers will have to wait until the December 9 release date to enjoy Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media’s "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", one of the most eagerly anticipated films of the year -- but one lucky fan and three guests will win the trip of a lifetime to experience Narnia at its World Premiere on December 7 at London’s Royal Albert Hall. The winner and his or her guests will walk the "blue" carpet at the Royal Premiere, which benefits the Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund and will include dignitaries, VIP’s and celebrities from around the world as well as the film’s cast and crew.

The national sweepstakes, organized by Walt Disney Studios and Fandango, the nation’s largest movie ticketing service, has already seen tens of thousands of entries. The sweepstakes grand prize is a three-day trip for four to London, with round-trip airfare courtesy of Virgin Atlantic. Other prizes include official Narnia merchandise, including signed movie posters, ”The Chronicles of Narnia” seven-book box set and a book on the making of the movie.

"The movie is an extraordinary undertaking, and we’re excited to be working closely with Walt Disney Studios on this partnership -- and to be able to reward lucky moviegoers with the journey of a lifetime to experience the movie of a lifetime.”"
