Steven Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans” Gets Prestige Drama Treatment In India by Reliance Entertainment (EXCLUSIVE]

Reliance Entertainment, India’s leading entertainment company, will distribute Steven Spielberg’s award season nominee “The Fabelmans”, on February 10, across India.

This India release is important because U.S. films have increased their market share to approximately 11%, but the majority of that box office is controlled by Hollywood movies, super heroes and creature features. These are often dubbed in several languages. When they are released, prestige dramas like “The Fabelmans” will only be shown in the original English version.

The film “The Fabelmans”, a deeply personal portrayal of American childhood in the 20th Century, is a cinematic record of the family and forces that shaped filmmaker Michael Moore’s career and life. Recently, the film won Best Director and Best Picture – Drama at the 80th Golden Globe Awards.
