The Other Side of Heaven Scheduled to Open December 14 in Select Theaters
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH -- Excel Entertainment Group has announced an official
release date for the upcoming big-budget feature film The Other Side of
Heaven. The Other Side of Heaven will open in 2 Wasatch Front theaters on
Friday, December 14. The following week, December 21, the film will expand
to open in over 50 theaters in Utah and Idaho. The film is expected to open
in other markets, including Hawaii, Arizona, Nevada and California in
January 2002, and in other markets around the country by early spring.
From Academy Award(TM)-winning producer Gerald R. Molen (Schindler's List,
Jurassic Park), The Other Side of Heaven stars Christopher Gorham (A Life
Less Ordinary, "Felicity") and Anne Hathaway (The Princess Diaries). The
film is based on the published memoirs of John H. Groberg, who in the 1950's
traveled to the Kingdom of Tonga.
Filmed in New Zealand and the Cook Islands with a primarily Maori and Samoan
supporting cast, The Other Side of Heaven tells the true story of Groberg's
adventures on the islands of Tonga as a missionary for the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The film had a production budget of $7 million, making it the largest film
Excel has distributed.
Distributors say they have chosen to open this way in order to see the film
play in its potentially strongest markets before Christmas, traditionally
one of the year's busiest box office seasons.
Utah and Idaho, where the film will initially open, have some of the largest
population concentrations in the nation of both Polynesians and members of
the Church.
