Tatsächlich hob Studiocanal-ceo Anna Marsh die Leistung des deutschen Teams in diesem Fall in besonderem Maße hervor. Denn dass der Film hierzulande das Boxoffice aus Frankreich übertreffen konnte, sei „ziemlich spektakulär“.

Für die Zukunft folge man jedenfalls weiterhin dem Fixstern: Europäische Geschichten zu erzählen, die das Potenzial für weltweite Märkte hätten.

With their new horror thriller Guess Who, Tubi may finally have come up with a fairly original idea for one of their films. As far as I can tell, it’s the first film to use mummering as a major plot point. No, not mummies, mummering. What is mummering?

If they were invited in, they’d give some kind of performance while their hosts tried to guess who they were.
