Missouri is facing a “defunding” of Planned Parenthood. What does this mean? Low-income patients, both old and new, who rely on Medicaid could lose access to hundreds of providers across the state.

According to PlannedParenthoodAction.Org, 
“Planned Parenthood in Missouri provides
high-quality, affordable health care and education to 50,000 women, men, and young people each year.” 
​
Those who receive any preventive care, such as  birth control, cancer screenings, annual exams, and STI testing and treatments, will be left with nowhere to go if this measure becomes law.

STRONG OPENING FOR SATIRICAL COMEDY 'BEATRIZ AT DINNER'

6/15/2017

0 Comments

 

Let us celebrate another release with strong female characters! 
Beatriz At Dinner, starring Salma Hayek, will be available nationwide! ​

Roadside Attractions had its strongest opening of the year with Miguel Arteta's and Mike White's satirical comedy Beatriz at Dinner.   On five NY and LA screens the film grossed an estimated $150,160 for an estimated PSA of $30,032, and notably placed #1 at The Landmark in LA.    

Beatriz garnered fantastic reviews since its world premiere at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival, including  career-best accolades for star Salma Hayek in the title role. The film is drawing a mix of audiences, both younger and older, and both Latino and non-Latino.  Roadside expects a very strong Sunday box office in line with the performance of films appealing to a significant Latino audience.

While promoting the film, both Hayek and Arteta did an entire complement of news shows, where the story of Beatriz as an immigrant in LA had particular resonance.  Mike White's script and Miguel Arteta's acute direction have captured the current cultural moment and audiences are responding.  

The filmmakers, Hayek, Lithgow and the entire cast supported the film extensively in traditional and digital media, and their social media support throughout the campaign elevated the trailer to more than 25million views on Beatriz's Facebook page alone, a historical high for any Roadside release.  

The film expands in exclusive runs in the top 25 markets on June 16 and nationwide on June 23.
