Box Office Success in N.Y., L.A. and D.C. Inspires National Expansion of "The Algerian"
LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 20, 2015 / Political thrillers are not the customary fare for most independent film producers, but "The Algerian" continues to find success as it expands its current theatrical release. The film, which first launched August 7 at the Regal Majestic 20 in Silver Spring, MD (a popular Washington, DC area theater) expanded in August and September to include New York and Los Angeles. This weekend, the film will reach seventeen additional markets, said distributor Hannover House (HHSE), including 13 of the top 25 largest markets. Hannover House will also present the film to International licensors at the American Film market in Santa Monica, CA in November, with interest building from the film's successful USA theatrical release.
Hannover House describes "The Algerian" as a powerful, political thriller from writer-producer-director Giovanni Zelko, which explores the sensitive and timely issue of Islamic extremism. For the first time in cinematic history, the audience is taken behind-the-curtain to see the inside workings of a terrorist sleeper cell, and the emotional, physical and philosophical struggles that define such activities and which ultimately drive the narrative of the film. "The Algerian" has garnered 27 awards or citations from 15 international film festivals, and has inspired features stories and support from major websites and organizations. Principal stars include Ben Youcef, Harry Lennix, Candice Coke, Tara Holt and director Giovanni Zelko.
Expansion markets opening "The Algerian" beginning Friday, Oct. 23, include (alphabetically): Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Columbus, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Nashville, Philadelphia, Raleigh-Durham, Sacramento, Seattle-Tacoma, St. Louis and Tampa-St. Petersburg.
