BURBANK, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Gearing up for the release of the big screen, family adventure “Pan,”

acclaimed director Joe Wright will celebrate and experience many of
these exciting versions of Neverland in person with fans, and will be

Garrett Hedlund — Hook before the hook. This worldwide celebration will
be connected via social media as fans everywhere will be invited to
check in virtually at each unique “Neverland” location via Facebook and
Instagram, and post their experiences using #PanMovie.

The whirlwind tour began on September 2 in Australia, the home country
of both Jackman and Miller, where “Pan” will make its global debut in
theatres on September 24. Melbourne students from five local public
schools saw advance footage from the film, followed by a surprise Q&A
with Jackman.

In London, Leicester Square is being transformed into the film’s vividly
imagined Neverland, with the immersive take-over of its Gardens being
opened to ticketed families for free on Saturday, September 19. Under
canopies of colorful tents, guests can discover Blackbeard’s Pirate
Training Tent, Pan’s Warrior Tent, Tiger Lily’s Kingdom and watch
performances on the Jolly Roger Stage. On Sunday, September 20,
Leicester Square will also host the gala worldwide premiere of “Pan,” at
the Empire Cinema and the Odeon Leicester Square. In addition to

Beginning.” Featuring a village inspired by Tiger Lily’s in the film,
plus a Jolly Roger ship modeled after the one in Blackbeard’s fleet, the
Mall will offer a multi-media experience for fans with a variety of
performances and imagery from the film and fans will have the
opportunity to meet and greet Jackman on Monday, September 28. On the
same day, Jackman will also become the first international star ever to
participate in the Chinese Mid Autumn Festival celebration in Hong Kong,
the Fire Dragon Festival. As a special honor, Jackman will be asked to

On October 1, Jackman, Miller and Wright will fly to Tokyo for the
film’s premiere event, streamed live online from the Roppongi Hills Area
at the Keyakizaka Complex, which will be transformed from stem to stern

Japanese musical artist Seiko Matsuda, before heading onto the TOHO
Cinemas to view the film, which opens across Japan on October 31.

New York City hosts the gala U.S. premiere on Sunday, October 4, ahead

other celebrities at the legendary Ziegfeld Theater.

In Mexico City on Tuesday October 6, the trio of Jackman, Miller and

Toreo Parque Central’s vast Cinepolis Complex. With designs inspired by
the Neverland natives’ village, Mermaid Lagoon and the Jolly Roger
itself, a special live drum performance will be part of one of the most
spectacular premiere events ever hosted in the country. All of these
iconic Neverland elements will remain at Toreo Parque Central until
October 18, giving families the opportunity to visit this exhibition for
12 extra days.

As Neverland sweeps the globe, a dazzling selection of the film’s
costumes will simultaneously be debuting in exhibits throughout Asia,
