Fox To Push $150,000 Movie
Fox Searchlight is planning to give the $150,000 art-house musical Once an advertising push after the film raked in $6.5 million on just 140 screens, USA Today reported today (Wednesday). The film has also received the attention -- and praise -- of Steven Spielberg, who told the newspaper, "A little movie called Once gave me enough inspiration to last the rest of the year." The film's success has apparently surprised the filmmakers, singers Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, who say that they originally planned to sell it only at their concerts.

The real-life romance that blossomed out of Oscar-winning indie "Once" is over. Glen Hansard confirmed he is no longer dating Marketa Irglova. The previous unknowns co-starred in the 2007 film and became international sensations, eventually winning last year's Oscar for best original song for "Falling Slowly" and getting a record deal. Since then, they have toured together, but now it's just as friends.

Award-Winning Broadway Musical ‘Once’ to
Close in January
By Patrick Healy
October 8, 2014 1:47 am
The hit Broadway musical “Once,” which won the Tony Award for best
musical in 2012, will close on Jan. 4 after a nearly three-year run, the
producers announced on Tuesday.
A romantic tale about a young Irishman and a Czech woman who grow
close over a few days’ time in Dublin, “Once” turned a profit faster than most
Broadway shows after earning back its $5.5 million capitalization in less
than six months after performances began in February 2012. The show had
strong reviews going for it, as well as appealing lead performances in its first
year by Steve Kazee, who won the Tony for best actor, and Cristin Milioti,
who was nominated for a best actress Tony. The show won eight Tonys over
all, including for best book for Enda Walsh and best director for John
Tiffany. The musical was based on the 2006 film of the same name; both the
show and the movie featured music and lyrics by Glen Hansard and Marketa
Irglova.
Ticket sales for “Once” began to slide this year, with the show facing
stiff competition from newer, popular musicals like “Kinky Boots,” “Matilda
the Musical,” and “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical.” Late last month
“Once” grossed less than $400,000 in ticket sales for the first time in its run.By the time “Once” closes, the musical will have played 22 preview
performances and 1,167 regular performances. Other productions of “Once”
include a London run and a United States tour of the show. The next tenant
for “Once’s” house, the Jacobs Theater, a prime spot on Broadway, has yet to
be announced.
