"It's no secret that Justin Bieber's name drives a lot of attention," affirms Scooter Braun. "But with BELIEVE, we wanted him to tell his own story, truthfully and directly. The number one goal of our company is to provide global audiences with content that's not only high-quality and forward-thinking, but also authentic."

"Justin Bieber is one of the biggest stars on the planet and one of the greatest entertainers of our time," states Tom Ortenberg, CEO of Open Road Films.  "BELIEVE will be a huge Christmas present for Bieber fans and Open Road Films couldn't be happier about delivering this special engagement to theaters."

“It was an amazing experience to see the creative process behind both the writing of Justin’s songs and the mounting of the BELIEVE tour,” states Bill O’Dowd, Dolphin Films CEO.  “The BELIEVE concert is simply spectacular, and it is made even more so when you witness the tremendous amount of effort and heart that Justin, Scooter and their team bring to their work and, most importantly, to his fans.”
