Hungary’s Filmmakers See Local Box Office Success With Genre Pics and Romantic Comedies

Christopher Vourlias It was welcome — perhaps even surprising — news for Hungarian moviegoers to discover that two home-grown productions were sitting at the top of the box office at the start of the year: “Gone Running,” Gábor Herendi’s local remake of the Czech romantic comedy “Women on the Run,” and the ’90s-set musical rom-com “How Could I Live Without You?,” directed by Dénes Orosz. The two crowd-pleasers, which are both being repped by NFI World Sales at the European Film Market, capped a year that saw some unexpected success stories — such as Bálint Szimler’s arthouse drama “Lesson Learned” drumming up more than 100,000 admissions — alongside signs that Hungarian filmmakers are looking to buck the trends of the recent past.

Hungary’s Historic NFI Studios Get a Dramatic Makeover in Booming Budapest

Christopher Vourlias On a recent winter morning in Fót, on the outskirts of Budapest, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán presided over a parade of officials and film industry luminaries at the ribbon-cutting of the new-look NFI Studios, the historic state-run complex that celebrated its official relaunch after a years-long push to expand and modernize a facility built at the tail end of WWI.
