'Intermission' has become the all time top-grossing film at the Irish box office for Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board.
In eight weeks since its release in Ireland, the John Crowley directed film has taken over €2.2 million and is now the 7th highest grossing title overall at the Irish box office in 2003, ahead of Hollywood titles such as 'Catch Me If You Can' and 'the Pirates Of The Caribbean'.
"It's great to see an Irish film strike such a chord with the Irish public and make an impact at the local box office against the big Hollywood blockbusters," said 'Intermission' producer Alan Maloney.
'Intermission', which will be released in the UK on 28 November, has received 11 nominations for the Irish Film and Television Awards and John Crowley recently took home the UIP Award for Best Director at the Cork Film Festival.
