Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin & Jane Fonda Film ‘9 To 5’ Gets One-Week Screen Return For Parton Charity

A newly restored 9 to 5, the hit 1980 workplace comedy starring Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, will return to theaters for a special weeklong theatrical run beginning October 9, with Disney donating net proceeds from each U.S. ticket purchase to The Dollywood Foundation. The proceeds will be used to support Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.

Tickets to see the newly restored 20th Century Studios film in theaters are now on sale.

The 9 to 5 theatrical re-release was announced today on “Give Like Dolly Day,” a new annual celebration encouraging the world to make a difference in a child’s life and honor Parton’s lifelong mission, inspiring children to “Dream More, Learn More, Care More and Be More.”

“Give Like Dolly Day” is observed annually on 9/25 – a date chosen as an homage to the film’s title.

In 9 to 5, a group of female office workers – the all-knowing manager who trained the boss but can’t get promoted (Lily Tomlin), a befuddled newcomer (Jane Fonda) and an alluring personal secretary everyone presumes is having an affair (Dolly Parton) – all band together to seek revenge on the man (Dabney Coleman) who is making their lives miserable.

Directed by Colin Higgins and produced by Bruce Gilbert from a screenplay by Higgins and Patricia Resnick, 9 to 5 received an Academy Award nomination for the hit title song written and performed by Parton.

20th Century Studios is releasing the newly restored film in theaters for a one-week engagement, from October 9-15.
