The movie, being 49 minutes in length, cut some content from the Silverdome concert likely to work within time constraints. The band's logo appears on screen, with the No Strings Attached intro occurring shortly after, where the band is brought down to the stage by strings, likely to impersonate marionette dolls.Īfter this, the movie mainly follows the band's performance at the Silverdome alongside some performances from other tour dates such as those in Pennsylvania and Ohio. The film starts off with some short segments of the stage crew preparing for the band's performance, shots of excited fans waiting outside, as well as some bare bones footage of the band backstage before the concert doing activities such as playing pool. On top these contests, there was a 'street team' fans could join to help spread word of the movie's release in local theatres as well as a 'Cyber Club' in which there is no recorded information of. A smaller, weekly contest also gave out movie tickets, posters, T-shirts, and other memorabilia. Contests were regularly held on the film's website, with the largest one having a grand prize of tickets to the band's performance in New Orleans with passes to the pre-show rehearsal with hotel and travel expenses covered. ĭuring the movie's run in theatres, Really Big Film Corporation had an active amount of engagement with fans. The film was shown at theatres for several months in North America and Europe, garnering over $1,800,000 in domestic revenue before showings were stopped. These included Carrot Top, Jennifer Blanc, Wild Orchid, Rosanna Arquette, Garcelle Beauvais, and many others. Upon the release of the film, the band and multiple celebrities appeared on the red carpet at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. This was especially true seeing how tickets for the No Strings Attached Tour were nearly sold out for every stop of the tour. While critics were outspoken about their disappointment in the lack of 'behind the scenes' content compared to other films of the same nature, the band and film's production team were clear about the fact that the film was mainly aimed for fans who either weren't able to get tickets or got bad seats at one of the concerts. The film, shot in 70mm, utilized footage from multiple performances during the band's No Strings Attached Tour, though mainly from their performance at the Pontiac Silverdome on July 18th, 2000. Originally set to be released in fall the year prior, the film was directed by John Bailey, and produced by Doug Yellin of Iwerks Entertainment for Really Big Film Corporation.
