Rocking Irish film Sing Street getting American release in April
John Carney, the director of Once, is back with his new film Sing Street and it's been on a bit of a roll since a rapturous opening at Sundance in January 2016. The film has played in Toronto and opened the Audi Dublin International Film Festival in February, picking up hugely positive reviews along the way. And now it's going even bigger.
We've just heard that Sing Street is set to open on limited release in the US on the 15th of April 2016. That's a huge leap for this low budget music-rich comedy/drama, and it's expected that the small number of screens will be expanded with positive word of mouth. The film was pre sold to the Weinsteins for an American release before it was even finished, so there's a huge amount of confidence in its ability to sell tickets.
