I can't find the info. It was announced as a special presentation or a gala?
It's a special presentation but it's also a world premier so it will be released there and not at another festival.

Then it will be released there and not at another Festival as Telluride or Venice.
Anyway it's good that Weinstein has faith in it, according to Deadline which seems clear it has its contacts within the company.
Mary Magdalene wasn't announced yet, right? Maybe later.

Yay! Great news!
Now I just have to wait about 6 weeks until the tickets go on sale. I spent $100 on a TIFF membership so that I could buy tickets the day before they go on sale to everyone else. If I can't manage to get a ticket, I will have made a generous $100 donation to TIFF!
And if I can't get a ticket, I'll just have to do what I did the last time - I'll just show up anyway and hope that luck is on my side again!

Here's a rather detailed article about the TIFF lineup - www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/tiff-2017-lineup-announced-1024123Yes, there is a mention of TCW - The emphasis of the article seems to be the juxtapositioning of world premieres at TIFF and how they want to take some of the sting away from films premiering at Telluride and Venice. But it didn't put TCW in the "world premiere" notifications (yet TIFF did itself in its Twitter announcement). Strange? Any guesses as to why? At any rate I am excited to see it is being screened at TIFF. Might be able to convince my better half to take the long journey to TO to see it. :-))

Traditionally special presentation are about movies from other festivals and not so good movies premiering after some deal with a big studio for another more interesting movie but the Festival is reducing movies this year because they are trying to avoid the too many non-interesting movies and Weinstein company is releasing so much less movies every year. I just checked and last year his more relevant film, Lion was also a world premier Special Presentation. His other two awards prospects were just abandoned.I think this year he only has two even when Deadline predicted another movie which supposedly will be released early next year (out of competition for the Oscar).
Weinstein's Telluride movies tend to be screened at both festivals. What I found interesting is that Deadline didn't mentioned Mary Magdalene at all (nor Indiwire but it's clear they have less info). It still could be announced at both festivals in the future.
