The films have not been re-released as marketing tools for upcoming films from the same directors. Rather, films that have been continuously popular among viewers for a long time are being screened again.

Wim Wenders’ documentary ‘Buena Vista Social Club‘ will also be re-released next month after digital re-mastering. Many fans remember this movie for its strong Cuban music, as it documents the process of finding hidden musicians in Cuba, recording an album with them over six days and staging their music.
Even though new movies are continuously released, the reason old movies are re-released is because fans are willing to go to theaters and watch the movies on a big screen instead of watching them on TV or on a computer monitor.
In addition, as technology has advanced, film production companies are digitally re-mastering movies from the film era, which is leading to the re-release of movies.
