Hit Gerard Butler Film to Be Available from
China Film Group and JL Vision on November 20, 2020
Eros STX Global Corporation (“ErosSTX” or the “Company”) (NYSE:
ESGC), a global entertainment company, announced today that
STXfilms’ Greenland, the hit action film that has opened #1 in
theaters in 27 territories around the world, will be available
theatrically to audiences in China beginning November 20, 2020. The
film will be released nationwide in the Middle Kingdom by China
Film Group and JL Vision. The announcement was made today by Adam
Fogelson, chairman, STX films Motion Picture Group.
Greenland will be one of the first import titles to achieve a
wide theatrical release in China following the pandemic induced
lockdown earlier this year. The film will be released across 14,000
screens in the Middle Kingdom, where Gerard Butler is a major star,
having seen success on previous offerings in the region including
Geostorm with $66 million in local box office and London Has Fallen
with $52 million.
During this challenging year, Greenland has benefited from an
“international first” theatrical strategy, exceeding the box office
of previous Butler films including Angel Has Fallen in key
territories around the world. With the film’s international
performance, pre-sales, and downstream television deals, the film
is already profitable despite challenging market conditions.
Greenland continues to roll out theatrically in international
markets.
Said Fogelson, “Greenland is exactly the kind of high-concept,
action packed spectacle that will wow cinemagoers in China. We are
incredibly excited to partner with China Film Group and JL Vision
on such a significant release, which clearly indicates a resurgence
in the marketplace, and it’s exciting to know that audiences in
China will have the chance to see the film in theaters later this
week.”
Starring Gerard Butler, Morena Baccarin, David Denman, Hope
Davis, Roger Dale Floyd, Andrew Bachelor, Merrin Dungey, with Holt
McCallany, and Scott Glenn, the film is written by Chris Sparling
and directed by Ric Roman Waugh. Producers are Basil Iwanyk,
Sèbastian Raybaud, Gerard Butler and Alan Siegel.
In Greenland, a family fights for survival as a planet-killing
comet races to Earth. John Garrity (Gerard Butler), his estranged
wife Allison (Morena Baccarin), and young son Nathan make a
perilous journey to their only hope for sanctuary. Amid terrifying
news accounts of cities around the world being levelled by the
comet’s fragments, the Garrity’s experience the best and worst in
humanity. As the countdown to global apocalypse approaches zero,
their incredible trek culminates in a desperate and last-minute
flight to a possible safe haven.
