Yes, films show at multiple festivals. It completely depends on the film and the strategy. For big studio films with big marketing support, they will usually aim to make a big splash by exclusively premiering/screening at one of the big 5 (Berlin, Venice, TIFF, Cannes, Sundance). The film festivals will push for this exclusivity.

Anyone making a *thing* out of DWD not showing at multiple festivals either doesn't know a thing about the film industry, or are pretending not to because they're butthurt about Olivia Wilde dating Harry Styles.

The World’s Best Lollipop

They say a sucker is born every minute. In Akron, it was more like 500,000 per day. During its prime in the 1930s, the Akron Candy Co. cranked out a half-million lollipops over three shifts during a 24-hour cycle.

Its signature product was the Dum-Dum, a small, spherical sucker known to trick-or-treaters everywhere. The fruit-flavored lollipop was the perfect size for little hands to unwrap and hold on Halloween night.

In 1953, the Spangler Candy Co. bought the Akron Candy Co.’s equipment and assets, including Dum-Dums, and moved the lollipop business to Bryan, Ohio, where it remains a giant in mini lollipops.
