HHSE will be distributing the movie in the US and Canada plus Home Video and VOD. The original sold 1.5 million home video units and with a wide theatrical release it will pull a very nice fee on the VOD. This movie has some serious potential IMO as you can see from the decision to expand to a wide theatrical release due to the staggering enthusiasm shown by fans. Theatrical plus Home Video plus VOD could easily put this at 15mm to 20mm if not more imo.
Quote:The 1963 cult-classic horror film, "BLOOD FEAST," from director Herschell Gordon Lewis, attracted and shocked audiences worldwide before enjoying a lucrative second life as a home video hit that ultimately sold more than 1.5-million units. Now, more than fifty years since the original creation, the official, long-awaited remake will hit theatres across the United States and Canada this summer. Hannover House (OTC: HHSE) and Crimson Forest Entertainment Group have entered into a distribution agreement with Producer Emsch Schneider, of Austrian-based Illusions, Ltd., for a June 23rd nationwide theatrical release of the film, representing a substantial expansion of the film's previously planned, limited opening.
Quote:]"The enthusiasm for this official remake has been staggering," said Eric Parkinson, C.E.O. of Hannover House. "We're getting swamped with calls and emails from horror media and fans across the country asking us to make sure that we open at a local theatre, or that they have a large fan group ready to organize an event screening. It didn't take long for us to recognize that the large following from the original film's home video release has generated an enthusiastic fan base to see the official remake. Expanding our theatrical plans into a national release during mid-summer shows our confidence in the film's commercial appeal," he concluded.
