The movie 'Sing Again' has joined the ranks of box office hits in the autumn season, recording high advance ticket sales.
The movie 'Sing Again' (Director: John Carney | Screenplay: John Carney, Peter MacDonald | Importer: Revive Contents Co., Ltd. | Distributor: By4M Studio Co., Ltd.) tells the story of two people whose lives, which had been at a standstill, begin to sing again in order to reclaim their lost songs. According to the Integrated Computerized Ticketing System, as of September 1, the film recorded the highest advance booking rate among foreign films opening this week.
The new song "How to Write a Song (Without You)," a collaboration between Rick Power (played by Paul Rudd) and Danny Wilson (played by Nick Jonas) in the film, is generating reactions regarding its official release following the unveiling of its music video. Audiences who attended the preview screening immediately sought out the song after the screening or commented on the deep lingering impact of the ending song.
Positive reviews have followed the advance screenings. Through member screenings, concert screenings combining live performances, and press screenings, the film has been praised for capturing Director John Carney's distinctive sensibility, and recommendations from families and music fans continue.
This achievement is also noteworthy for shifting the flow of foreign films in theaters, which has been driven by blockbusters. It is expected to continue the lineage of artbusters by following a path similar to 'Begin Again,' which achieved long-term success solely through word of mouth despite initial theater limitations.
'Sing Again', the new film by director John Carney, who directed 'Once', 'Begin Again', and 'Sing Street', will be officially released in theaters nationwide on September 2.
