Emma Stone as Emily, smiling in a still from 'Kinds of Kindness'
The Big Picture Director Yorgos Lanthimos is continuing his successful partnership with star Emma Stone, with the absurdist dark comedy Kinds of Kindness. The movie opened in five domestic locations this weekend, delivering the biggest per-theater average of the year as it gears up to expand into over 500 locations next weekend.
Deviating in structure if not style from Lanthimos’ earlier work, Kinds of Kindness is an absurdist anthology film that premiered at the Cannes Film Festival a couple of months ago. It reunites the Greek filmmaker not only with Stone but also with his frequent co-writer Efthimis Filippou and Poor Things composer Jerskin Fendrix and cinematographer Robbie Ryan.
Produced on a reported budget of $15 million, Kinds of Kindness has grossed nearly $1 million from overseas territories so far, for a very early global haul of $1.3 million. The movie also features Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie, and Hunter Schafer. Lanthimos will reunite with Stone and Plemons for his next film, Bugonia, which Collider exclusively reported had begun filming last month. Stay tuned for more updates.
