The Banshees of Inisherin, which won writer-director Martin McDonagh Best Screenplay and Colin Farrell the Volpi Cup for Best Actor in Venice last month, hits theaters in New York and Los Angeles on Friday, expanding to 10 more markets/50 locations next weekend, and to 600-800 screens November 4.
If standing ovations say anything, the comedy-drama had a rapturous 13 minutes of applause on the Lido. It’s certified fresh at 99% on Rotten Tomatoes. (Here’s the Deadline review.) Critical acclaim plus a nascent arthouse revival underway bode well for the Searchlight Pictures film, the distributor’s second big-screen outing after a 10-month hiatus. Its first was See How They Run last month. Next up, Mark Mylod’s Adam McKay-produced horror-comedy The Menu in November, and Sam Mendes drama-romance Empire of Light drops December 9.
Banshees opens at The Grove and Century City in LA and the Angelika and AMC Lincoln Square in NY with McDonagh at post-screening Q&As Fri. and Sat. at both LA locations.
Banshees follows Brendon Gleeson and Colin Farrell (In Bruges) as lifelong friends at an impasse when one abruptly ends their relationship. (Farrell, the needy friend, crashed Gleeson’s opening monologue as SNL host earlier this month asking, “Who’s your most favorite co-star you’ve ever worked with?”) Also stars Kerry Condon and Barry Keoghan.
A24 presents Charlotte Wells’ debut film Aftersun on four screens in in NY/LA. The story of an 11-year-old (Francesca Corio) on holiday with her father (Paul Mescal) premiered at Cannes. Shot on location in Turkey, the film is partly a comedy-drama about a package holiday, but also a meditation on memories of a father with mental health problems, says Deadline review here. A 97% with

Searchlight Pictures’ The Banshees Of Inisherin opened to an estimated $181,000 and a raring per screen average of $45,250, beating Tár’s impressive $40,000. Both opened in four locations and now rank no. 2 and no. 3 for an indie per-theater gross this year after A24’s Everything Everywhere All At Once. That film’s in a class of its own with an April opening PTA of over $50k on many more screens and a $100 million+ worldwide grosses. But Banshees is the latest in a wave of strong limited openings this month from Decision To Leave to Triangle of Sadness to Aftersun to Till making the case for an arthouse revival. Case made.
