"The Kids Are All Right," produced in
association with
Hollywood Studios
International's (PINKSHEETS: HYWS) wholly owned subsidiary,
Artist International, pushed past the $20
million mark at the U.S. box office this past weekend and continues
to climb. The film, which originally opened on July 9 on platform
release in Los Angeles and New York, has steadily grown to nearly
1000 theaters and has surpassed studio expectations. The picture
was produced for approximately $10 million with Hollywood Studios
International's chairman and CEO
Steven
Saxton serving as an Executive Producer and
Joel Newton, AI's Managing Director, as a Co-Producer.
Since making its debut at Sundance, which resulted in an intense
bidding war, the film directed by Lisa Cholodenko ("Laurel Canyon,"
"High Art") and written by Cholodenko and Stuart Blumberg ("Keeping
the Faith"), has garnered near unanimous praise from everyone from
Entertainment Weekly, the New York Times, Vanity Fair, Rolling
Stone, and the Chicago Tribune for its comedic and heartfelt
portrayal of a lesbian couple whose teenage children decide to
search out and bring their biological sperm donor father into their
lives.
Starring four-time Academy Award nominee Julianne Moore ("A
Single Man," "Magnolia,"), three-time Academy Award nominee Annette
Bening ("American Beauty," "Being Julia"), Mia Wasikowska ("Alice
in Wonderland"), Josh Hutcherson (starring in the upcoming "Red
Dawn") and Mark Ruffalo ("Shutter Island," "Date Night," "Zodiac"),
the movie combines comedic surprise with poignant emotional truth
resulting in a funny, refreshing, and richly drawn portrait of a
modern family.
