Audiences everywhere answer THE CALL as Cinedigm (NASDAQ:
CIDM) announces that the new horror film kills it at the box office
after releasing in theaters last week. Four Friends. One Phone
Call. 60 Seconds to Stay Alive. In the fall of 1987, a group of
small-town friends must survive the night in the home of a sinister
couple after a tragic accident occurs in THE CALL. Needing
only to make a single phone call, the request seems ordinary until
they realize that this call could change their life…or end it. This
simple task quickly spirals into terror as their worst nightmares
become reality as they enter the realm of THE CALL.
Led by horror icons Lin Shaye (Insidious franchise, Ouija) and
Tobin Bell (Saw, Jigsaw), THE CALL put up stellar numbers
over opening weekend and continued to strengthen as the days
passed; including having the highest per screen average of any film
in theaters for Monday and Tuesday this week in North America.
Heading into its second weekend playing on hundreds of screens
across the nation, the buzz around the film continues to grow as
more cities have been added; assuring that fans looking for a
little fright to fill their night will be wonderfully
satisfied.
Shaye is best known for her role of Elise Rainier from the
worldwide box office hit franchise INSIDIOUS. She’s also
starred in a variety of horror films including THE GRUDGE,
OUIJA, THE FINAL WISH and Showtime’s PENNY
DREADFUL: CITY OF ANGELS. Bell is best known for his role in
the SAW franchise playing the terrifying role of John
“Jigsaw” Kramer in all 8 movies.
Status Media has been a partner with Cinedigm on 11 films now
including the successful HICKOK, TRADED, GANGSTER LAND and
THE FINAL WISH. With this partnership, Cinedigm will be
distributing THE CALL on digital and Blu-ray™ as well at a
future date.
Directed by Woodward Jr, THE CALL was written by Patrick
