Sunday CALENDAR section only of the Los Angeles Times, June 29, 1997

* Best "Men in Back" advertisement
* Grand pre-opening day movie premiere 
* American science fiction action comedy film
* Actors Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones 

A terrific issue on the premiere of the motion picture hit "MEN IN BLACK" and perhaps no better issue could be found than this, the leading newspaper from the home of the entertainment industry - the Hollywood area's prime publication.
Page 11 of this section has a nice advertisement for the opening day premiere of "MEN IN BLACK" 4 days prior to it's release. (see images)
A quite rare issue as it would not have been saved since it contains no historically significant content. Complete "Calendar" section only with 88 pages, tabloid size, very nice condition.

Background: Released on July 2, 1997, Men in Black marked a landmark moment in pop culture and blockbuster cinema by proving that comic book adaptations could seamlessly blend high-concept sci-fi, sharp action, and deadpan comedy into a massive global hit. Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, the film follows NYPD officer James Darrell Edwards III (Will Smith) after he is recruited into a top-secret organization monitoring extraterrestrial life on Earth hidden in plain sight, pairing him as Agent J alongside veteran Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones). Beyond grossing $589.4 million worldwide as the third highest-grossing film of 1997, its cultural significance stems from cementing Will Smith's status as a global superstar, pioneering ground-breaking practical creature effects through Rick Baker’s Academy Award-winning makeup, and embedding iconic elements like the Neuralyzer memory-eraser and black suit aesthetic permanently into the 1990s pop culture lexicon while launching a multi-film franchise.
