Wim Wenders Drama ‘Perfect Days’ Passes Theatrical Record In The UK And Becomes The German Filmmaker’s Biggest Title In Multiple Territories
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Perfect Days, the comeback feature from legendary German filmmaker Wim Wenders, has become boutique operator Curzon Cinemas‘s longest-running film after passing 30 continuous weeks this past Friday.
Perfect Days has played at Curzon Bloomsbury in London for 206 continuous days. The film passes Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s Drive My Car, which played for 26 continuous weeks, to become the operator’s longest-running title under modern tracking.
Perfect Days is currently the 7th highest-grossing film at Curzon Bloomsbury of all time. Wenders’s quietly radical, Tokyo-set drama, stars Japanese actor Koji Yakusho as a man with a love of trees and literature who mysteriously opts for a simple life by working as a toilet cleaner.
The film debuted in Competition at Cannes in 2023 where Yakusho won Best Actor. All rights on the film for the UK, LATAM, India, and Turkey were acquired by Mubi from The Match Factory at Cannes 2023.
