Youth In Revolt animation
January 11, 2010 12:05 am
The Weinstein Company’s new film, Youth In Revolt, opened in ninth place at the box office this weekend. I haven’t seen it myself, but have recieved reports that the film uses quite a bit of animation — from stop-motion opening credits, to pixilation and pornographic hand drawn animation in the middle of the film, and traditional 2D animation during the end credits. Peter Sluszka of New York-based Hornet Inc created the animation, shot both in New York at Hornet’s Brooklyn stage and on location in Michigan (for the pixilation sequence). Here’s a link to the stop-mo opening credits. (Thanks, Ryan McCulloch) |
This movie is FANTASTIC! The animation was a great surprise, and I loved every bit of it.
9th?!?!??!!?!?!?!?!?
Ninth place seems low, but if you look at the numbers it did okay. It averaged more $ per screen than the movies in 5th through 8th place, and it’s the only movie in the top 10 being shown on under 2,000 screens.
