After making its North American Premiere in the Fantasia Film Festival’s Camera Lucida sidebar, Seth A. Smith’s dystopian sci-fi thriller “Tin Can” was picked up by Canada’s levelFILM for domestic distribution.
In the film, a new fungal disease called Coral is spreading rapidly across the planet. Parasitologist Fret is working on a possible treatment when she is attacked outside her workplace, waking up an unspecific amount of time later in a claustrophobic life prolonging cryochamber. Not knowing where she is, how she got there or why, Fret fights to escape the confines of her cell, learning that there are others from her past similarly confined in nearby chambers of their own.
Nova Scotia-based Cut/Off/Tail Pictures, producers of Smith’s previous award-winning feature “The Crescent,” also backed “Tin Can,” a Panorama Audience Award finalist at Sitges 2020. Smith teamed once again with long-time colleague Darcy Spidle on the screenplay...

2016-10-09T14:50:20-07:00Weekend Box Office: 'Girl on the Train' Dominates 'Miss Peregrine'
Another humdrum weekend at the box office turned out pretty much as everyone expected, with only one of three new wide releases doing respectable business and none of them delivering anything close to a hit performance.

The film's weekend domestic gross came out to about $24.7 million, significantly better than the $18 million on the low end of projections but nowhere near the $30 million that some optimists had predicted. The good news is that the film cost less than $50 million to make,...
