On this day in 2014 Paramount Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Productions issued a joint press release announcing that the feature film version of CSI, which had finished its initial worldwide theatrical run with total box office earnings of 2.1 trillion USD, would be re-released in US theaters on October 13th. The move was being made in hopes of improving the film's Academy Award prospects; it had been nominated in the Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, and Best Special Effects.
