Premiere

Historical Glamour
Grauman’s Chinese Theatre red-carpet premieres in 1920s Hollywood fused celebrity culture with architectural opulence. Royal command performances in London exported the spectacle globally.
Logistics and ROI
Premiere costs—carpet, step-and-repeat backdrops, security—can hit six figures but yield media impressions valued far higher. Live-streamed carpet interviews now extend reach to international fandoms.
Cultural Diplomacy
Festival premieres at Berlin or Busan often double as soft-power events, with governments subsidising gala nights to showcase national cinema.
