A newly restored version of the 1980 workplace comedy “9 to 5,” starring Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin, is scheduled to return to theaters for a one-week run beginning October 9. The re-release is presented as a special engagement rather than a long-term theatrical release.
Disney will donate the net proceeds from U.S. ticket sales from the re-release to The Dollywood Foundation. The funding is intended to support programs connected to Parton’s philanthropic work, according to the outlets reporting on the plan.
Both sources describe the same core details: the restored film, the one-week window starting October 9, and the use of ticket proceeds to benefit The Dollywood Foundation. The coverage differs mainly in wording and emphasis, with one outlet framing the event specifically as a benefit tied to Parton’s charity and the other focusing on Parton’s return to the big screen and the film’s theatrical comeback.
