The film will debut in cinemas and on Sky Box Office simultaneously on February 22. The film will also be available to download for Internet users through Sky Anytime VOD. However, Sky’s 8.7 million subscribers will only have access to the film for a limited time period.
Curzon Artificial Eye CEO Philip Knatchbull said, “It is often the case with non-Hollywood titles that many cinemagoers are aware of the film’s release but don’t have access to a cinema showing it. This deal means they will now have the opportunity to see it on release.”
