E1 to represent Summer Coda
International sales agent Entertainment One (E1) has signed up Richard Gray’s debut feature Summer Coda, to represent the film in all world territories outside Australia/New Zealand.
“The movie is truly exceptional, a perfectly observed love story, beautifully rendered through extraordinary performances framed by a wonderful setting. There are never enough good love stores – this is surely one,” said EVP for international sales and acquisitions Charlotte Mickie.
According to Gray, E1 was the production company’s first choice. He described Mickie as “a tremendous advocate for Summer Coda“, and the 24-screen $64,307 opening week box office result as “encouraging”.
“We’re keen to find similar reactions overseas. On the back of E1’s representation of Animal Kingdom, we believe we’re in fantastic hands,” said Gray.
Summer Coda was released by Jump Street Films and Sharmill Films last week.
Good on the Summer Coda people for making the film and going with E1.
Unfortunately $64K on 24 screens is a terrible result.
That’s about $2600 per cinema per week, ie 177 people watching the film per week which equates to 8 people per session.
Jump Street/Sharmill’s marketing is a FAIL…
$2600 per cinema for 4 days, which equates to approx 216 people in 4 days…
still not a good result…
