HYWS Hollywood Studios International (CE)

"The Kids Are All Right," produced in association with Hollywood Studio International's (OTCBB: HYWS) wholly owned subsidiary Artist International, scored the best screen average of the year for a specialty release, following its theatrical release, July 9, and continues to win over moviegoers. The Focus Features film, directed by Lisa Cholodenko, grossed an estimated $504,888 as it opened in seven theaters, raking in $72,127 a screen, the fifth best in the last five years. This past weekend, as it grew from 38 to 201 theaters, it generated more than $2.6 million, with a per-theater average of $12,909, the best of any film in release, including "Inception." Now, with a cumulative box-office of just under $5 million, the dramatic comedy will expand to an additional 500-600 theaters this coming weekend. Hollywood Studios International's chairman and CEO Steven Saxton served on the film as an Executive Producer. Joel Newton, Artist International's managing director, was a Co-Producer.

Since "The Kids Are All Right" ignited a high profile bidding war at this year's Sundance Film Festival, buzz for the warm, comedic portrayal of a lesbian couple and their two children, has been deafening and continues to grow. Here's a sampling of what the critics have been saying:

"Hilarious and heartfelt. Irresistible. 'The Kids Are All Right' makes its own special magic." --Rolling Stone http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/reviews/17388/153390

"This gem features five topnotch, multidimensional performances in one of this summer's most engaging films." -- USA Today http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/reviews/2010-07-09-kidsareallright09_ST_ N.htm

"Outrageously funny. The best comedy about an American family since....Since what? Precedents and grounds for comparison seem to be lacking, so I may have to let the superlative stand unqualified for now. So canny in its insights and so agile in its negotiation of complex emotions that it deserves to stand on its own. The performances are all close to perfect." -- New York Times http://movies.nytimes.com/2010/07/09/movies/09kids.html?ref=movies

"Grade A. Funny, smart and sexy. Irresistible. This pitch perfect movie charms audiences into a state of enlightenment. Annette Bening, Julianne Moore, and Mark Ruffalo at the top of their games." -- EW.com http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20398294,00.html

"A triumph. The easiest movie to love I've seen all year. It's wonderful. Annette Bening and Julianne Moore have never been looser or wittier." -- Chicago Tribune
