The gambit of launching Tony Mahony and Angus Sampson.s dark comedy The Mule simultaneously on digital platforms in Australia, New Zealand, the Us and Canada last Friday, bypassing cinemas, seems to be paying off.
Initial reports from iTunes and distributor eOne are very encouraging, according to Sampson, who served as one of the producers.
Consumers can buy the title on digital platforms for $24.99 and it will be available to rent online and on DVD and Blu-ray on December 3.
The caper starring Sampson as a naive guy who is caught with lethal narcotics hidden in his stomach and tries to withhold the evidence, literally, ranks as the most popular indie title on iTunes in Australia and in the Us.
.In Australia iTunes says the film is doing three times better than its estimates, .Sampson tells If. .EOne just told me the pre-orders for physical sales are five times better than they would have done normally.
