Irish Audiences Mad For ‘Mickybo & Me’
31 Mar 2005 :

Terry Loane is thrilled with the performance of this debut feature film ‘Mickybo & Me’ on its opening weekend. The charming Irish feature won the hearts of Irish audiences, taking €31,321 in the South and £26,421 in the North.

Speaking to IFTN about the release, director Terry Loane said, "The critical response to Mickybo and Me is personally very rewarding, but the ultimate result for me is that Irish audiences seem to be loving the film, with many cinemas selling out. Word-of-mouth, the best advertising we can get, is selling Mickybo & Me".

‘Mickybo & Me’ stars Julie Walters, Ciaran Hinds, Adrian Dunbar, Gina McKee, Susan Lynch and newcomers Niall Wright and John Joe O’Neill and is released through UIP. Anna Lavery at UIP in Dublin commented "We at United International Pictures are delighted to be involved in a critically acclaimed Irish release that opened very strong last weekend and we hope that it continues to build on it's fantastic word of mouth already achieved."

Over the three day weekend 25 – 27th of March the film placed 19th overall in the combined UK/Ireland box office ratings. Released on 28 screens (13 in the South, 15 in the North) the movie garnered a site average of $3,193 per site.

Will Smith starrer ‘Hitch’ held onto the top spot across UK and Ireland taking £1,660,358 over the three day weekend. New entries included ‘Miss Congeniality 2’ (3rd place £1,302,070) and ‘Maria Full Of Grace’ (10th place £84,335). Terry George’s Oscar nominated ‘Hotel Rwanda’ held onto 15th position in its fifth week of release earning £70,336 making a total UK/IRL gross of $2,494,778 since it’s release.
