Last weekend, canadian indie horror game “the Void” was shown for the first time in several dozen U.S. theaters and on VOD platforms and OnDemand (video-on-demand). And you know, despite the lack of some powerful promotional company, it was found that good old word of mouth also works, for first run turned out a significant success for this independent picture.
According to the official press release “the Void”
…was grossing No. 1 film in several places, including the Village East Theater in new York and Arena in Los Angeles. In addition, Nitehawk in Brooklyn and Music Box in Chicago sold out of the midnight sessions. Overall, the weekend was sold out the tickets in the following places: new York (Brooklyn, Yonkers), Chicago, Miami, Texas (El Paso, Lubbock, Dallas), Lancaster, Salem, Columbus, CA (Los Angeles, Santa Ana and San Diego).
That’s what he said on this occasion, the representative of the independent car rental company Screen Media That Yagelski:
“Given that the majority of rentals were limited to the late and midnight sessions, we are thrilled such a strong reaction from the audience on “the Void”. Sold tickets to more than a dozen market points, as well as being close to that in many other places, we’re optimistic about next weekend, which will “Void” a classic late-night sessions in the circle of independent cinema.
“The void”, recall, was created by Director and writers ‘ Duo Jeremy Gillespie and Steven Kostanski, as well as acting in the person of Aaron Pool, Ellen Wong, Kathleen Munroe, Stephanie Belding , and Kenneth Welsh.
Chief editor of Zone Horror has already plunged into “the Void” in full and labored on this account the good review, claiming that this is exactly the movie that we missed. So you should be glad the commercial success of this indie horror game, albeit in limited American theaters.
Maybe this example will still affect Russian distributors? I’d love to see “Void” on the big screen.
