“It’s no secret that Justin Bieber’s name drives a lot of attention,” affirms Scooter Braun. “But with Believe, we wanted him to tell his own story, truthfully and directly. The number one goal of our company is to provide global audiences with content that’s not only high-quality and forward-thinking, but also authentic.”
“Justin Bieber is one of the biggest stars on the planet and one of the greatest entertainers of our time,” states Tom Ortenberg, CEO of Open Road Films. “Believe will be a huge Christmas present for Bieber fans and Open Road Films couldn’t be happier about delivering this special engagement to theatres.”
