Viz Media has teamed up with music retail chain Hot Topic to promote the 2-nights only event of the screenings of the live-action Death Note movie. Anyone who buys a T-Shirt or DVD of Death Note in select Hot Topic stores will receive a free ticket to any of the 300 theaters across the U.S. that will be showing the movie (while supplies last). The screenings will take on May 20 and 21.  Times and theaters can be found here.

Lauren Rozek, Director of Retail Development for Viz, said, "Hot Topic is an ideal strategic retail partner for VIZ Media and we're extremely excited to deepen our relationship with them to support the U.S. premiere of the Death Note live-action feature.

Our Naruto campaign proved extremely successful in helping to cultivate the strong fan base that the Naruto brand now enjoys. We invite fans to visit Hot Topic and pick up the latest volume of Death Note on DVD and also get a free ticket to attend this special event."

Whether you pick up a free ticket from Hot Topic or buy the ticket right at the theater or online at the NCM Fathom store, make sure not to miss out on the event. The next time the Death Note live action film will be out is when it comes out on DVD, which could happen months or even a year from now.
