Greenland

You are not the only one terryann , I'm wondering where he is, we had the last news almost one month ago, since then no one saw him around.

P.S.: I will watch Greenland this evening... FINALLY!!!!! I can't wait!! 

Had to post this review, mainly because why wouldn’t Gerry be doing PR in the UK with a review like this one from a top critic in the UK - no big spollers

Glad you loved Greenland Elsa.. I can’t wait to own the BluRay in a week.     

critics in the UK have liked the film which makes me so happy for Gerry. 😊

here is a link to the written review by Mark Kermode in The Guardian -

If covid would not have gotten in the way this film would have been as big as 300 at the box office. So happy for him. Even RT isn't dissing it.

Greenland is doing great on Netflex  article..

Fabulous news for Greenland profits for PVOD...

For STX, ‘Greenland’ Is a Major PVOD Hit; for Exhibitors, It’s Yet Another Existential Threat
Gerard Butler's unassuming lower-budget disaster movie proved that lots of people can be willing to spend $19.99 on a VOD premiere.
Quotes..
Have you seen “Greenland”? It seems like almost everyone has: Released December 18 as a Premium VOD title with no domestic theatrical play, the $35 million STX Films title starring Gerard Butler as a father trying to help his family survive planet-destroying comets has ranked at or near the top of the VOD charts ever since. With good reviews and word of mouth, it spent more than eight weeks at $19.99 and finally became the standard-price $5.99 on February 16 — which saw it rebound on the charts once more. Whether they track by rentals or revenue, all roads seem to lead to “Greenland.”

“Greenland” is not the only film to see this kind of long-term success. Universal’s “The Croods: A New Age” moved to PVOD after three weeks in theaters and has thrived ever since. However, that film also benefits from being part of an animated franchise in the content-hungry kids’ market. “Greenland,” which falls neatly into the disaster-movie genre, is that also rare and difficult property: the original screenplay.....

......  As with every other film last year, the pandemic forced STX to reconsider the “Greenland” domestic release date. Originally scheduled to open in theaters June 12, 2020, STX moved the date four times before announcing that it would debut as a PVOD title October 13. That date pushed once more before it landed on December 18.

Chart placements aside, VOD financials are difficult to assess. However, evidence suggests that STX has already net $60 million-$80 million on the film’s $35 million budget.

Through international partners, STX released “Greenland” overseas in late July and it grossed around $48 million. Based on standard deal terms, that likely netted over $20 million.

In October, HBO acquired the film for its pay-TV network and HBO Max streaming in the U.S. in a massive deal reportedly in the range of $20 million-$30 million. Amazon Prime has the title in the U.K., Australia, and Canada.

Finally, industry sources say “Greenland” has seen over 2 million rentals over its eight-week run as a $19.99 rental. Given a standard share of 80 percent, that would come to $32 million. Still to come are VOD results, DVD/BluRay sales, and longer-term library value.”

 Is definitely in order.  To see Greenland making a great profit without a theater release in the U.S. and it is a great movie.
