Good response to the launch - kick-off of WILDFIRE at theatres!

Greetings HHSE Friends - We launched the initial eight markets yesterday for WILDFIRE in theatres... and will be expanding to more cities and screens during October.  We split up the launch in order to maximize efficiency for national media with our IN-DEMAND streaming date - as well as to navigate around the 900-lb gorilla next weekend (Oct. 3) with the just-announced drop of a new movie for Taylor Swift eating up 4,000+ locations. Only Taylor Swift has the market clout to announce a new film for WIDE release just 3-weeks before launch... even the major studios plan for their tentpole releases MANY MONTHS in advance. So, normally, a small indie company like Hannover House can carefully navigate release opportunities, and slip "IN" a film between major studio event titles... but alas, Taylor Swift is notorious for making her own rules when it comes to entertainment industry practices! Smart companies, like Hannover House, adapt and thrive, even when the rules change!

ALTHOUGH the box office numbers from the opening weekend are insignificant - the proof of success is that we are being HELD OVER ... AND... being EXPANDED for some added locations on Oct. 10 and Oct. 17 (in addition to New York City and Los Angeles).  THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A MAJOR, NEW ERA FOR HHSE AND OUR SHAREHOLDERS.  Enjoy the results of our mutual labors and long patience to grow the company intelligently, carefully and efficiently!

Excited for the INITIAL MARKETS launch this weekend of WILDFIRE - with expansion to larger markets set for Oct. 17. Below are some stills from the opening night at the Malco Razorback in Fayetteville, AR - and we will be adding similar photos from events in OKC, Tulsa, Farmington, Nashville, Albuquerque and Dallas. While we are not expecting huge box office results - the campaign has always been designed to MAXIMIZE consumer awareness and demand in support of our STREAMING placements for the film... with a nice announcement coming on OCT. 10 (!!)
