Amid all the noise about studios’ taking apart the fall and Q4 release schedule over the actors’ strike, here’s some good news. Amazon is taking their Emerald Fennell directed movie, Saltburn, out on Black Friday, Nov. 24 in New York and LA. Pic will expand on Dec. 7.
In the wake of releasing Ben Affleck’s Air in theaters over Easter, which opened to $20.2M over five days stateside and made close to $90M worldwide, the streamer is going theatrical again, and that’s a big thing to applaud.
They’re very excited about Fennell’s next big feature, which has a plot that’s under wraps (logline is it’s about an aristocratic family). A murderer’s row cast of Jacob Elordi, Carey Mulligan, Rosamund Pike, Barry Keoghan and Richard E. Grant.
There’s speculation out there that Saltburn is heading to Telluride.
Fennell’s previous Carey Mulligan movie, Promising Young Woman, won the filmmaker original screenplay at the Oscars with five noms overall including Best Picture.
