‘True History of the Kelly Gang.’
People who are keen to see Justin Kurzel’s True History of the Kelly Gang in cinemas won’t have many options – and they’ll have to be quick.
Transmission Films is launching the subversive bushranger saga on January 9, just 17 days before it premieres on Stan as a Stan Original.
Thus far the Shaun Grant-scripted drama starring George MacKay, Russell Crowe, Essie Davis, Nicholas Hoult and Charlie Hunnam has been booked by the Eddie Tamir family-owned Randwick Ritz Cinemas and Melbourne’s Lido, Classic and Cameo cinemas, plus the Backlot in Perth and Dendy locations except Opera Quays.

Many Australian exhibitors are up in arms about the upcoming theatrical releases of the Netflix productions The King, The Irishman, Marriage Story and The Two Popes.
They believe the accelerated home entertainment window for each title, which averages three weeks, jeopardises the primacy of the theatrical release while they continue to invest millions of dollars refurbishing their cinemas.
Some exhibitors have refused to screen all four films while others were not offered them. Eddie Tamir’s Classic, Lido and Cameo Cinemas are the sole locations in Victoria.
In Nsw, Tamir’s Ritz Cinemas in Randwick has booked the films. So has Dendy Cinemas. Those venues agreed to accept a shorter window last year for Alfonso Cuarón’s Netflix-financed Roma.

Anthony Maras has sat in on numerous screenings of his debut film Hotel Mumbai, including test screenings in Los Angeles, the world premiere in Toronto and the Adelaide Film Festival, and the responses have been uniform.
Some people say they want to go home and hug their children, some say it will take a while to process what they have seen, and some are moved to tears.
“It is an emotional experience,” the director, who co-wrote the thriller with John Collee, tells If. Asked how he feels as he awaits the 260-plus screen launch on Thursday, he says: “Relieved….and fingers’ crossed.”
It will be the widest ever release by Icon Film Distribution. “Exhibitor support has been amazing,” says Dendy Icon group head of marketing Scott Mota.
The Us distributor Bleecker Street, which acquired the rights in partnership with ShivHans Pictures after The Weinstein Co.
