Nebula Extends Partnership with Cineworld for 'Jet Lag: The Game' Season 19 Finale Theatrical Release
The acclaimed travel-themed competitive series, "Jet Lag: The Game," is set to culminate its nineteenth season, titled "Japanorama," with an exclusive theatrical release.

Following a successful initial screening of the season's debut in London's Picturehouse Cinemas during August, this theatrical finale event is expected to draw significant attention. The ongoing partnership between Nebula and Cineworld also extends to other content, notably including a deal to facilitate an Oscar-qualifying theatrical run for Nebula's short film, "Power Trip." This 26-minute film, directed by Patrick H. Willems, will be showcased at Regal Essex Crossing in New York from September 24th to 30th, featuring interactive Q&A sessions with the talent after each 7 p.m. ET showing. A broader nationwide release at various Regal locations will follow for "Power Trip."

It offers digital creators new avenues to engage with their audience and provides viewers with unique opportunities to experience their favorite online content in a premium, communal environment. The expansion of this partnership between Nebula and Cineworld is a testament to the evolving landscape of entertainment and the increasing demand for diverse viewing experiences.
