Fox Searchlight is hoping for big things with the small film that is Wes Anderson‘s The Grand Budapest Hotel, which opened to record numbers in only four theaters over the weekend, where it brought in over $800,000. It will expand into an additional 43 cities this weekend (see the list below), but before that happens the studio has released a brand new red band trailer.
I posted my “A” review earlier today where I wrote:
A lot of the enjoyment here is in the familiarity of style and a harkening back to his R-rated tone, which has been missing for a couple of films. Grand Budapest is a warm and soothing bath with familiar smells, which is to say it’s altogether wonderful. Time will obviously tell where this places in Anderson’s oeuvre, but for now I simply can’t wait to see it again.
There’s a lot to love about this film and if you’re going to see it anyway than I’d suggest skipping the trailer. If you can’t hold out, give it a play and then read my full review right here.
