StudioCanal.s Elizabeth Trotman.
In If's most recent issue, we touched base with three of the nation.s distribution heads — Madman.s Paul Wiegard, StudioCanal.s Elizabeth Trotman and Village Roadshow.s Joel Pearlman — to get the lowdown on the year.s hits, the misses, and what they.ve got coming up.
How.s the year been for you?
Trotman: It.s been a positive year. Obviously I started in my role in March, so [I.m] still relatively new to the Australian landscape. We.re pleased with our results on Our Kind of Traitor. We.ve had a number of successes with our French films playing at the French Film Festival this year. We released Mother.s Day the week before Mother.s Day back in April, and it took $5.7 million in Australia. It took 17 percent of the Us result; usually Australia is tracking at ten percent of the Us, so 17 percent was strong.
