Excerpt taken from Ocala.com – June 30, 2010 – To thank Marion County for bringing “Grease Sing-A-Long” to his adopted hometown, the film’s star, John Travolta, is buying popcorn, soda and candy for all ticket holders attending next week’s showings at the Ocala, Florida Hollywood 16 theater.
“I want to thank you, my hometown, for showing your support for the ‘Grease Sing A-Long’ and bringing it to the Regal Hollywood 16 in Ocala,” Travolta noted in a statement. “I am so impressed that showtimes sold out, I would like to treat each ‘Grease Sing A-Long’ ticket holder to a popcorn, soda and candy item when you attend the movie on July 8, 9th or 10th. Just show your ticket when you arrive for the movie. Wish I could be there with you. Enjoy the Grease Sing A-Long!”
Ocala’s overwhelming response to the film has caused Paramount Pictures and Travolta himself to take notice.
