Brent Lang Executive Editor Vertical is shifting the theatrical release of Rebecca Miller’s romantic comedy “She Came To” by a week. The film, which stars Peter Dinklage, Anne Hathaway and Marisa Tomei, will open on Oct. 6 instead of Sept.
29, when it was originally slated to premiere. Vertical opted to change its release strategy after Apple decided to move the opening of Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” to later in the month. “She Came To” was granted an interim agreement from SAG-AFTRA, which means that the cast will be able to do promotional activity around its release despite the fact that actors are on strike against major studios and streamers.
“In light of ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ release date shift, we jumped at the opportunity for the Oct. 6 date for ‘She Came To Me,'” Vertical Partner Peter Jarowey commented. “It is a competitively less crowded weekend which allows us an even better window to present Rebecca’s unique, funny and enchanting film to moviegoers nationwide.” Miller, whose credits include “Maggie’s Plan” and “The Private Lives of Pippa Lee,” wrote the film in addition to directing it.
The film also stars Joanna Kulig, Brian d’Arcy James, Harlow Jane and Evan A. Ellison. “She Came To” follows composer Steven Lauddem (Dinklage), who has lost the creative spark that brought him international acclaim just weeks before the deadline for his latest commission.
