JJ Winlove’s heartfelt comedy 'June Again' will have a simultaneous North American theatrical and video-on-demand release in January after being snapped up by Samuel Goldwyn Films.
JJ Winlove's 'June Again', starring Noni Hazlehurst, Claudia Karvan and Stephen Curry, resonated with Mother's Day crowds at the box office.
In the heartfelt comedy 'June Again', a twist of fate gives family matriarch June (Noni Hazlehurst) a reprieve from a debilitating illness
Serial procrastinator Teddy (Rafe Spall) who thinks he has all the time in the world. But after an odd encounter with a stranger (Noni Hazlehurst), he wakes up the morning after his wedding to discover that he's jumped forward a year in his life to his first anniversary.
Exhibitors despaired as none of the new releases last weekend could catch the fourth frame of Warner Bros' 'Tenet' and no title cracked $1 million.
Madman Entertainment's father-and-son comedy 'Made in Italy' and Icon's Mel Gibson-starrer 'Force of Nature' launched reasonably well last weekend but neither could match the market leader, Studiocanal's 'Unhinged' in its third frame.
Studiocanal's road rage thriller 'Unhinged' was the top choice again for cinemagoers in its second weekend while R&R Films' 'Black Water: Abyss', director Andrew Traucki’s sequel to his 2007 cult-horror 'Black Water', had a limited release in Oz and the US.
Australian critics scorned 'Unhinged' but audiences turned out last weekend for the road rage thriller starring Russell Crowe and Caren Pistorius, the only new wide release.
