Hit Gerard Butler Film to Be Available
Beginning December 18 for $19.99 Rental
Eros STX Global Corporation (NYSE:ESGC) (“ErosSTX”), a global
entertainment company, announced today that STXfilms’ Greenland,
the hit action film that has opened #1 in theaters in 24
territories around the world, will be available to US audiences on
all premium video on-demand platforms (PVOD) beginning December 18
for a $19.99 48-hour rental. The announcement was made today by
Adam Fogelson, chairman, STXfilms Motion Picture Group.
Greenland, starring Gerard Butler, has performed better than
Butler’s hit Angel Has Fallen franchise in most key territories.
The film has already taken in over $45 million in revenue for STX
on a $35 million production budget, allowing the film and the
studio to be profitable despite challenging market conditions.
Greenland continues to roll out theatrically in international
markets where the film opened #1 this past weekend in Italy and New
Zealand.
Said Fogelson, “Greenland has been a hit everywhere in the
world, so it’s exciting to bring it to American audiences on
PVOD.”
The film will be available on HBO and to stream on HBO Max in
2021 after its transactional home entertainment run.
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 leveled by the
comet’s fragments, the Garritys 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.
