FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW LINE CINEMA’S “WE’RE THE MILLERS” CRUISES PAST $100
MILLION
AT THE DOMESTIC BOX OFFICE
BURBANK, CA – August 31, 2013 – One of the most talked about
hits of the summer, New Line Cinema’s “We’re the Millers” has surpassed $100
million at the domestic box office, it was announced today by Dan Fellman,
President, Domestic Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures. The movie crossed the $100 million mark on
Friday, August 30, and is still climbing.
The film has a staggered release pattern internationally, and
the performance in the few early markets has been quite strong. Cumulative international box office is an
estimated $33 million, with many territories yet to release, including such key
markets as France, Italy, Spain, Mexico and Brazil.
In making the announcement, Fellman stated, “‘We’re the
Millers’’ fake family is a genuine hit, and their hilarious road trip, combined
with strong word of mouth, have been driving audiences to theaters across the
country since its release. We expect
this incredibly funny cast, led by Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis, to continue providing moviegoers with big laughs in the
weeks to come.”
From New Line Cinema comes the action comedy “We’re the
Millers,” starring Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis. The film is directed by Rawson Marshall
Thurber.
David Clark (Sudeikis) is a small-time pot dealer whose
clientele includes chefs and soccer moms, but no kids—after all, he has his
scruples. So what could go wrong? Plenty. Preferring to keep
a low profile for obvious reasons, he learns the hard way that no good deed
goes unpunished when he tries to help out some local teens and winds up getting
jumped by a trio of gutter punks. Stealing his stash and his cash, they
leave him in major debt to his supplier, Brad (Ed Helms).
In order to wipe the slate clean—and maintain a clean bill of
health—David must now become a big-time drug smuggler by bringing Brad’s latest
shipment in from Mexico. Twisting the arms of his neighbors, cynical
stripper Rose (Aniston) and wannabe customer Kenny (Will Poulter), as well as
streetwise teen Casey (Emma Roberts), he devises a foolproof plan. One
fake wife, two pretend kids and a huge, shiny RV later, the “Millers” are headed
south of the border for a Fourth of July weekend that is sure to end with a
bang.
Thurber directed “We’re the Millers” from a screenplay by Bob
Fisher & Steve Faber and Sean Anders & John Morris, story by Fisher
& Faber.
The film also stars Emma Roberts, Nick Offerman, Kathryn
Hahn, Will Poulter and Ed Helms.
Vincent Newman, Tucker Tooley, Happy Walters and Chris Bender
produced, with David Heyman, J.C. Spink, Marcus Viscidi, Toby Emmerich, Richard
Brener and David Neustadter serving as executive producers.
Thurber’s behind-the-scenes creative team included director
of photography Barry Peterson; production designer Clayton Hartley; editor Mike
Sale; and costume designer Shay Cunliffe.
The music is by Theodore Shapiro and Ludwig Goransson.
New Line Cinema presents a Newman/Tooley Films, Slap Happy
Productions/Heyday Films and Benderspink production, “We’re the Millers.” The film is distributed worldwide by Warner
Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
“We’re the Millers” is
rated R for “crude sexual content,
pervasive language, drug material and brief graphic nudity.”
