Political Thriller "The Algerian" Invades Theatres in New York, Los Angeles
Acclaimed Independent Feature Continues Successful Theatrical Roll-Out to Top USA Markets

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 27, 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, said Eric Parkinson, C.E.O. of distributor Hannover House, Inc. (OTC: HHSE). The film, which first launched on August 7 at the Regal Majestic 20 in Silver Spring, MD, a popular Washington, D.C. area theatre, is now expanding to Los Angeles this Friday, and New York City next weekend. Hannover House plans to expand the film to more than 20 additional markets in September.

“’The Algerian’ surprised a lot of people with its box office success in D.C.,” said Parkinson. “The film performed in the top tier of all releases, beating out a dozen major studio hits. We had a similar result the following weekend at the Regal Stadium in Staten Island. Now, with the support of our key exhibition partners, the film will be reaching audiences in Los Angeles, New York City and most of the rest of the top 25 largest markets in the country,” he continued.

Hannover House describes the film 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 feature stories and support from major publications and websites. Principal stars include Ben Youcef, Harry Lennix, Candice Coke, Tara Holt and director Giovanni Zelko.

The Los Angeles launch will occur this Friday, August 28, at the Laemmle Music Hall 3 in Beverly Hills. The director and key cast members will be present and participating in a Q&A after the 7:30pm show on Friday, after the 10:00pm show on Saturday and after the noon Sunday matinee. The New York City opening will occur on Friday, September 4 at the Regal E-Walk 13 on 42nd St. For more information on the film and special events, including cast and crew appearances at theatres, go to www.TheAlgerianMovie.com.
