Indie horror pic Talk To Me opened to £643,354 in UK and Irish cinemas, setting a new office box office record for Altitude Film Distribution.
The pic, directed by filmmaking duo Michael and Danny Philippou in their feature debut, was launched on 429 screens this past weekend. The total sees Talk To Me overtake Moonlight as Altitude’s biggest opener in the UK and Ireland. We understand the film will not be expanding.
Produced by Causeway Films (The Babadook) and acquired by Altitude from Bankside Films at Cannes in 2022, the pic follows a group of friends who, after discovering how to conjure spirits using an embalmed hand, become hooked on the new thrill until one of them goes too far and unleashes terrifying supernatural forces.

While the streaming wars continue and the pandemic’s damage still smolders around the world, indie distributors are biting the bullet. And as the American Film Market unfolds in Santa Monica, it seems like it’s harder to bring an indie feature to market than it is to find the financing and resources to produce it.
Distribution strategies have been markedly altered in the past several years, due in part from the impact of streamers and the pandemic, yet a host of indies around the world are demonstrating resilience in the face of the ongoing turbulence through canny partnerships, exploitation of platforms and savvy marketing moves.
But above all, the theatrical experience still dominates their thinking. “More than ever, cinema is where movies are watched, it’s not just ‘content,’” says Tom Quinn of Neon, which has Cannes Palme d’Or winner “Triangle of Sadness” in cinemas now. “There’s...

Once seen as rather elitist and niche, the documentary feature market is expanding as audience demand for real life stories continues to grow.
Documentaries have become a huge genre in their own right, says Lia Devlin, head of distribution at Altitude Films, whose slate includes “Tina,” “Zappa,” “David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet,” and festival hit “Gunda,” which it releases this June.
“Audiences have reappraised the documentary genre. They are treated very much now as feature films and a solid entertainment format.”
Streamers have played a key part in helping broaden the appeal of feature docs, offering thrilling and emotional real-life stories that are often as dramatic as anything that fiction could dream up. Netflix, in particular, has helped to raise awareness. The streamer, for example, has two hotly tipped Oscar documentary contenders this year, “My Octopus Teacher” and “Crip Camp,” having previously won the category in 2018 with “Icarus” and in 2020 with “American Factory.

Sarah Gavron’s “Rocks” is nominated for seven BAFTAs as well as a BAFTA Ee Rising Star Award for its lead Bukky Bakray. Variety sat down with Gavron, nominated in the directing and British film categories, Theresa Ikoko, nominated alongside co-writer Claire Wilson for debut and original screenplay, Bakray, leading actress nominee, and Lucy Pardee, casting nominee, to discuss the film’s evolution and process.
“Rocks” was shot in the summer of 2018, with the prep beginning more than a year before that, but even now the “Rocks” women-majority crew is a tightly knit team, often completing each others’ sentences. The key word here is team. The crew is at pains to emphasize that “Rocks” is more than a “Sarah Gavron Film,” and acknowledges the contribution of everyone, including the associate director Anuradha Henriques, casting associate Jessica Straker, and the cast themselves in shaping the story and characters.
