Fantastic Four director Josh Trank has created a strange, bitter-flavoured account of the celebrated mafioso in terminal decline in Florida
Vertical Entertainment’s Tom Hardy movie “Capone” has earned the company its best VOD release with a 10-day run amassing over $2.5 million in gross on-demand sales.
“Capone” was released on May 12 through several on-demand platforms, such as iTunes (where it soared to No. 1 on the charts within its first three days of release) and Amazon.
“We are incredibly impressed with the attention and interest surrounding ‘Capone,'” the company said. “Although we wish the film could have been premiered in theaters as originally intended, we could not be more thrilled with the success of the VOD home premiere release.”
The real-life Al Capone headed the Chicago mob during the 1920s and was prosecuted for tax evasion and imprisoned in 1932. The film takes place at the end of his life when dementia has riddled his mind. The film was directed by Josh Trank and also stars Kyle MacLachlan, Linda Cardellini, Jack Lowden, Matt Dillon and Neal Brennan.
