Stxfilms: �Greenland� to Be Released in China

Hit Gerard Butler Film to Be Available from China Film Group and JL Vision on November 20, 2020

DOUGLAS, Isle of Man & BURBANK, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$ESGC #Erosstx–Eros STX Global Corporation (�ErosSTX” or the “Company”) (NYSE: ESGC), a global entertainment company, announced today that STXfilms’ Greenland, the hit action film that has opened #1 in theaters in 27 territories around the world, will be available theatrically to audiences in China beginning November 20, 2020. The film will be released nationwide in the Middle Kingdom by China Film Group and JL Vision. The announcement was made today by Adam Fogelson, chairman, STX films Motion Picture Group.

Greenland will be one of the first import titles to achieve a wide theatrical release in China following the pandemic induced lockdown earlier this year. The film will be released across 14,000 screens in the Middle Kingdom, where Gerard Butler is a major star, having seen success on previous offerings in the region including Geostorm with $66 million in local box office and London Has Fallen with $52 million.

During this challenging year, Greenland has benefited from an “international first” theatrical strategy, exceeding the box office of previous Butler films including Angel Has Fallen in key territories around the world. With the film’s international performance, pre-sales, and downstream television deals, the film is already profitable despite challenging market conditions. Greenland continues to roll out theatrically in international markets.

Said Fogelson, “Greenland is exactly the kind of high-concept, action packed spectacle that will wow cinemagoers in China. We are incredibly excited to partner with China Film Group and JL Vision on such a significant release, which clearly indicates a resurgence in the marketplace, and it’s exciting to know that audiences in China will have the chance to see the film in theaters later this week.”

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 levelled by the comet’s fragments, the Garrity’s 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.
