Sony Pictures Classics has unveiled a July 14th release date and trailer for The Miracle Club, their Dublin-shot comedy that Laura Linney, Maggie Smith, Kathy Bates and Agnes O’Casey lead for Emmy-nominated director Thaddeus O’Sullivan.
The film, which SPC snapped up rights to earlier this year for the U.S., Latin America and assorted territories in Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe, will the month prior have its world premiere in the Spotlight Narrative section of the Tribeca Festival.
