dope, inside out, me and earl and the dying girl, the overnight, theatrical release

If you’re in one of those select cities that always gets limited release movies, you’ve got a busy weekend ahead of you.

Comedy is making a huge run for the top spot at the box office this weekend. Inside Out has its big nationwide release, but indie comedies Dope, The Overnight, and Me and Earl and the Dying Girl also have their specialty releases this weekend.

Definitely, in LA, you can see all four. Just check these showtimes for Dope, The Overnight, Me and Earl and The Dying Girl, and Inside Out.

If not in a major city, you’ll definitely be able to see Inside Out at the very least. Hopefully you live close to an art house/indie theater to see the rest.

There is definitely going to be plenty more than gripping dramas and documentaries to watch at this year’s LA Film Fest.

This year’s LA Film Festival, running Jun. 10th-18th in Downtown LA, will feature slasher comedy Dude Bro Party Massacre III from 5 Second Films, an Evening of Buh Comedy presented by JASH, The Overnight, People Places Things with Jemaine Clement, a great comedy short/live comedy showcase in Funny or Die’s Make ‘em LAFF, visits to Manson Family sites in Manson Family Vacation, a romantic comedy that deals with millennials being forced to go analog in 3rd St. Blackout, Mark Twain inspired treasure seekers that can’t seem to grow up in Band of Robbers, and more.

Details, casts (some of which include Hannibal Buress, Jay Duplass, John Hodgman, Sasheer Zamata, Adam Scott, Janeane Garofalo, and more), and, most importantly, tickets can be found here.

Some ‘Swinging’ Might Be Afoot in Trailer for “The Overnight”

By swinging, we do mean sex.

In Patrick Brice’s The Overnight, Adam Scott and Taylor Schilling play a couple who just moved to LA with their son and Jason Schwartzman and Judith Godrèche play another couple who welcome them very graciously, perhaps a little overly so.

A welcome dinner turns quickly into something suggestive of some of the hotter scenes of Vicky Cristina Barcelona in another hit Sundance comedy. 

Watch the trailer here and mark down the release date for Jun. 19th.

This year’s Sundance Film Festival has distributors combing through the big bills in their wallets for comedy/dramedy.

Even though, Me And Earl And The Dying Girl ended up not setting a buy record at the festival, it still carried a decently sized price tag in the mid 7 figure range. 

Other films that might potentially rule the specialty box office and beyond this year include:

–Kevin Pollak’s documentary Misery Loves Comedy acquired by Tribeca Film.

–The D Train with Jack Black, James Marsden, Kathryn Hahn, Jeffrey Tambor, Mike White, and Kyle Bornheimer bought up by IFC Films for $3 million.

-The world rights for Results from Andrew Bujalski, the man who brought Computer Chess into the world, acquired by Magnolia Pictures.

–The North American rights to Don Verdean with Sam Rockwell, Danny McBride, Leslie Bibb, Jemaine Clement, Will Forte, and Amy Ryan from Jared Hess acquired by Lionsgate.

–The U.S. rights to The Bronze starring and co-written by Melissa Rauch acquired by Relativity for $3 million.

–The Overnight produced by The Duplass Brothers and Adam & Naomi Scott’s Gettin’ Rad bought up by The Orchard for $4 million.

–The world rights to Tangerine, also produced by The Duplass Brothers, acquired by Magnolia Pictures.

–Dope with Zoe Kravitz, the voice of Forest Whitaker, Blake Anderson, and more bought up by Open Road Films and Sony Pictures for $7 million.

–Mistress America from Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig bought up by Fox Searchlight for $6.5 million before it even played at the festival.

It’s inevitable that we’ll all be obsessing over their trailers in the coming months.
