The deal was brokered by Tine Klint for Nordisk Film and Stan Wertlieb for Grindstone. The US distributor will be working in partnership with horror producer Ghost House Pictures on both releases.
Martin Barnewitz’s chiller Room 205, produced by Nordisk Film, will be dubbed into English for the US release. The film garnered over 80,000 admissions in Denmark.
Ole Bornedal’s family thriller The Substitute, produced by Thura Film, was Denmark’s biggest summer blockbuster hit with over 180,000 admissions.
At the AFM, which ends today, Nordisk also received a positive response on Leif Lindblom's Swedish film Sunstorm, based on Åsa Larsson's best-selling novel. The thriller starring Izabella Scorupco opened last Friday in Sweden through Sandrew Metronome and has sold over 37,000 tickets from 90 screens.
