The Perfect Guy UK Box Office

poster_005As of yesterday (22nd November) The Perfect Guy had racked up just a whisker short of $57m in total takings world wide.  Only about 4% of that was from non-US countries.

The thriller film was number one in its opening weekend, which started on Friday the 11th of September.

Last Friday (20th November) The Perfect Guy opened in the UK.  Unlike the first weekend in US it was up against some very strong competition.  The latest James Bond movie, Spectre, is still going strong after four weeks and the final instalment in The Hunger Games quadrilogy, Mockingjay Part 2, premièred.  That’s some tough competition.

Couple that with a no doubt different demographic, less publicity, and stars not so recognisable to a UK audience and it is understandable why The Perfect Guy took around £100,000 (approx $150,000).  Perhaps it’ll be a slow burn.

SNOB Has Two Sided Coin

snob_film_festival_960x355As reported three weeks ago The Coin makes a return to the festival circuit in New Hampshire, USA.

Since the news broke the Somewhat North Of Boston Film Festival has released its full schedule of screenings during the three four day event.  The last day is a recent addition, which allows another viewing of a selection of short films.

The Coin will be shown twice, each time in a group of themed short films.

The first is on the opening night (12th of Nov) at 8:30pm in an 85 minute block titled ‘Friends & Family’.

Number two is on Saturday (14th of Nov).  It is a two part affair starting at 3:15pm with a section called ‘Searching…’.  After an hour or so filled with seven films there is a break.  At 4:30pm things kick off again with ‘…& More’ and another seven films.  The Coin is in the second half.

In both cases the short film blocks are being shown in auditorium B of the Red River Theatres on Main Street, Concord, New Hampshire.

More details can, of course, be found on the official SNOB website.

Bone Tomahawk Delayed Until Feb In UK

poster_002_1500x2215A bit of bad news for my fellow Brits.

If you are looking forward to seeing S. Craig Zahler’s Bone Tomahawk in the UK and you’ve been waiting to take a trip to your local multiplex in December, you might want to think again.

Yesterday’s Inverness Film Festival and the upcoming festival showings in Cork, Leeds and Wales could be your last chance until February.

Yes, February.

Bone Tomahawk‘s theatrical release appears to be have been delayed until the 19th of that month in 2016.

Not sure why that should be.

The Perfect Guy To Make Home Visit

blu-ray_box_001Who doesn’t want to meet the perfect guy before the New Year?

Well, me for a start  :-)

But for those that are they can look forward to spending an evening or two with him in the comfort of their own home.

The thriller The Perfect Guy is due for a DVD and Blu-ray release on December 29th of this year (that’s 2015) in America.

Amazon’s US website has the discs available for pre-order now.  See the details HERE.

The price is currently just under $20 for the standard definition version and near to $30 if you want your thrills in full HD.

The film revolves around Sanaa Lathan’s Leah.  She ends a relation and soon afterwards meets the titular ‘perfect guy’.  But is he too good to be true?  Presumably, or the plot would be lacking a certain something  :-)

Kathryn has a few small scenes in her role as a friend of Leah.  As we’ve noted before there is one set in a restaurant as the ladies get to meet the new man.

Bone Tomahawk Starts Swinging Today

poster_002_1500x2215It has been just over a year since news broke that after a prolonged pre-production period Bone Tomahawk started actual production.

The short filming schedule, very small budget, and limited post-production special effects has meant quite a short turn around.  Certainly quicker than much Hollywood fare.

Premièring a month ago at Fantastic Fest and screening at a number of other festivals since (with plenty more to come), Bone Tomahawk will be released in US cinemas and via VOD services today (Friday, 23rd October).

The horror-filled western stars Kurt Russell (Death Proof) as Sheriff Hunt, who, along with Patrick Wilson (Fargo), Matthew Fox (Lost) and Richard Jenkins (Let Me In), set out to rescue Lili Simmons (Banshee) from a band of “cannibalistic cave dwellers”.

David Arquette (Scream), Sean Young (Blade Runner), Sid Haig (Jackie Brown), Michael Parè (The Lincoln Lawyer), and James Tolkan (Top Gun) also star.

Kathryn has a small role as Lorna Hunt, wife to Kurt’s Franklin.

UK cinema goers will have to wait until December the 11th.
