US Distributor Found For “Agora”
On 10 October 2009, I wrote an article about the movie “Agora.” I finished off by quoting some Spanish media as stating that the film has yet to find a distributor in the United States.
Agora opened in October in Spain, topped the box-office raking in $8 million in its opening weekend, and then went on to gross $30 million, outperforming many Hollywood movies. Despite its success, it sat without a US buyer for six months. Finally, the US rights to Agora have been picked up by Newmarket Films and a release is planned for 2010. This is a movie that promises to be of great interest to all pagans with an interest in Egypt at the beginning of the Christian era.
