It wasn't a huge hit, and we weren't expecting it to break the hundred-million mark(though that would be nice), we are very happy our audiences at least helped it return the money spent on it. Even Stark said in his interview that he's not a fan of everything being hits. It's always refreshing to see something that doesn't have a dude running around in tights saving the world all the time.
We just received a pitch from another CMP author, Chad Taylor. We loved the idea and thought it fit into the Grand Island mold. Both Chad and Matt Kubrick must have seen enough Fox Searchlight films to know what kind of studio we ripped off...er...forget that haha.
Our biggest hits were Dream of a King, Lyra and A Man Called Dan. Most of the others were dramas that didn't make too much of a box office and very few were flops. We have faith that Chad and Matt's films will add to the success of both CMP and Grand Island Entertainment.
Remember, if you have a film looking for a producer, show it to us. It doesn't have to be an uber dramatic movie, just something that's independent from the usual hollywood/cmp films. When you see Searchlight, you'll know the kind of films they produce. They've produced everything from Little Miss Sunshine, Notes on a Scandal, Last King of Scotland, Secret Life of Bees to Sunshine, I Think I Love My Wife, [500] Days of Summer and Sunshine Cleaning.
It can also be an animated film or a horror. We love seeing animated films that don't just target to kids and families. '9' was the most recent animated film that stepped out of the norm of kid films.
Since we've been working with Kubrick for a while, be sure to ask him to produce your film for his company, Midnight Movies. You've seen enough films out of that studio to see which ones will get picked up.
Anyway, congratulations for a successful release, Fireflies! We are now anticipating I Married A Supervillain!
