AMC Theatres to Honor Diane Keaton with Screenings of ‘Annie Hall’ and ‘SomethingS Gotta Give’
AMC Theatres will be hosting screenings of Diane Keaton’s iconic films Annie Hall and Something’s Gotta Give in remembrance of the actress following her recent passing, joining a wave of tributes recognizing her prolific career. The move comes as Keaton’s films experience a surge in digital rentals and as other cinema circuits plan retrospectives of her work.

The screenings offer audiences a chance to celebrate Keaton’s enduring legacy on the big screen.
Annie Hall, released in April 1977, earned $38.3 million domestically and currently ranks No. 31 on the american Film Institute’s list of 100 Greatest Movies in American cinema, and No. 4 on its comedy list.The film, a result of Keaton’s long-time collaboration with Woody Allen, earned her an Academy Award for best actress.
Something’s Gotta Give, directed by Nancy Meyers and co-starring Jack Nicholson and Keanu Reeves, became Keaton’s highest-grossing live-action film in a leading role, earning $124.7 million domestically and $142 million overseas for a global total of $266.7 million in 2003.
Since Keaton’s passing, her films have seen increased viewership on digital platforms, with Something’s Gotta Give reaching No. 5 and Annie Hall at No. 14 on iTunes’ movie rental chart on Monday. As I Said So, Reds, and Baby Boom also experienced a rise in rentals, highlighting the breadth of her filmography.
