Overview
- Focus Features announced on Tuesday, July 28 that it acquired North American and Latin American rights to Elsinore and will open the film in select U.S. theaters on November 20 with planned expansion over Thanksgiving into December.
- Elsinore stars Andrew Scott as Ian Charleson with Olivia Colman among a large ensemble, and Scott is also credited as a producer on the biopic directed by Simon Stone and written by Stephen Beresford.
- The film is set for the fall festival circuit with a Toronto screening billed as a Canadian premiere and press reporting has signaled a likely Telluride world premiere ahead of TIFF.
- StudioCanal and partners retain theatrical control in major international territories, with StudioCanal handling the U.K., France, Germany, Poland, Benelux, Australia and New Zealand, Lucky Red covering Italy, and Universal Pictures International distributing in Latin America.
- Elsinore dramatizes Ian Charleson’s final, celebrated stage performance while he faced an AIDS diagnosis, a subject that gives the film cultural weight and positions it for awards attention during the late‑year release window.
