I am lucky enough to have a theater chain where I live that regularly rescreens older movies and has 1 weekend a month dedicated to ghibli. It’s pretty nice and I believe it gets them decent business

My local cinema does this as well, when they show older movies it’s usually pretty full.
Saw Fight Club recently and it was absolutely packed. Honestly not sure why they don’t do it more.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Studio Ghibli fans who missed their shot at watching Spirited Away in theaters last year can try again between April 27th and May 1st at “U.S.
An announcement from film distributor Fathom Events says that the showings will also “include surprise special extra content.”
The list of films also includes Ponyo and Howl’s Moving Castle, two movies that, like Spirited Away, Miyazaki made after saying he’d retire.
The 20th-anniversary edition of Howl’s Moving Castle gets the longest run, with mostly evening showings from September 26th through October 3rd.
Tickets are available directly from theater box offices or through the websites of Fathom Events and distributor GKids.
If you’re really looking for the full late 90s / early 2000s nostalgia experience, you can apparently show off your Ghibli Fest ticket stub at a Hot Topic store and get a 25 percent discount “for in-store purchases.” Fathom’s announcement says “theater participants are subject to change.”
