Catfish, released in the US!

23 Sep 2010

Our suspenseful, social networking documentary Catfish was released in the US last week and the figures are looking swell. Released by Universal over there, on behalf of Relativity / Rogue, it opened on just 12 screens initially, but will be rolled out to another 19 this week due to it's popularity. Judging by the great reviews and the spreading word of mouth on this film, we've got a feeling it's going to be a great box office success.

In true social networking style, we've been tracking it's progress on twitter, and are pretty chuffed to see that almost everyone is getting right behind the nature of the thing (the tag line is 'Don't let anyone tell you what it is') and keeping schtum about its thrilling twists.

Here's a little selection of what people are tweeting about it, Stateside:

#catfish. Still freaking me out six days later.

Catfish... interesting movie. definitely not what I expected.

Holy crap. Catfish. That movie completely stunned me and was very disconcerting.

I recommend the movie Catfish. Such a ridiculously creepy story but so worth seeing. Good good movie

Ok so this new movie "catfish" got me ready to delete my accounts on social networks...#CreepedOut

Wtf @ this #catfish movie. Looks creepy as hell

CATFISH. must. see.

Catfish was incredible. Go see it. Run....don't walk.

Hate feeling left out of the #catfish loop. NEED TO SEE THIS STAT.

Saw the documentary Catfish tonight... makes me happy to not be on facebook.

Catfish makes no sense to me, but I guess it shouldn't, since no ones allowed to tell me about it.

#Catfish is different, its kinda like a blair witch project.

I suggest you see the fascinating 'Catfish' before the cat or fish is out of the bag. Don't read anything. Just see it.

#Catfish Dinner on the way
(There have been a lot of these. We had no idea it was such popular cuisine!)

We'll be releasing Catfish in Australia in the forthcoming months, and you can read more about it (and see some clips) here.
