Worldwide movie enthusiasts have warmly received “Flow,” the wordless adventure of a solitary cat’s struggle for survival, created by Gints Zilbalodis. This heartwarming animation won both the Oscar and Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature earlier this year.
The film “Flow,” priced at $3.4 million, has earned over $36 million globally as of March 17, thanks to distribution by Charades. In North America, it made $4.6 million (equivalent to €4.5 million) through Sideshow and Janus Films after its November release. The movie garnered approximately $6.7 million in Mexico, $1 million in Brazil, $3.4 million in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and Paraguay combined, $2.1 million in Latvia, where it originated, $5.4 million in France (from 682,217 ticket sales), $1 million in Germany over its first weekend, $1.3 million in the Netherlands, $1.6 million in Spain, $2.7 million in China by its third weekend, and $591,000 in Vietnam from 157,000 ticket sales during its opening weekend, among other countries.
Following its debut in Cannes’ Un Certain Regard section, the film “Flow” has been a standout in the awards circuit, garnering praise from critics, viewers, and voters alike. It excelled in a competitive category that featured titles such as “The Wild Robot,” “Inside Out 2,” “Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl,” and “Memoir of a Snail.” Produced by Dream Well Studio, Sacrebleu Prods., and Take Five Prods., this unique production even earned nominations for both best animated feature and international film at the Oscars, an impressive feat.
The story, titled “Flow,” unfolds in the wake of a devastating flood that sweeps across the globe. It centers around a fiercely independent feline who finds herself aboard a vessel and must coexist with a motley crew of animals. Critics have likened it to a symbolic representation of contemporary matters like climate change.
At the Oscars, Zilbalodis, a director who first gained fame with the global success “Away” at age 24, hinted at the relevance of the topics explored in his film “Flow,” during his acceptance speech.
He emphasized that we’re all in this shared journey, and it’s crucial for us to find means to bridge our disparities and collaborate effectively,” he expressed. The humble director also highlighted that this was Latvia’s first Oscar nomination and win, and expressed his hope that this achievement would serve as an opening for independent animation filmmakers globally.
Prior to the Oscars, the director shared insights about the triumph of “Flow” – a smaller, dialogueless animated film – with EbMaster. He expressed that animation has the power to surpass such limitations.
As a movie enthusiast, I’m thrilled to see that folks are embracing the idea that animated movies aren’t just for the little ones. It’s truly wonderful! Yet, there’s even more to celebrate as these films can resonate with people of all ages and backgrounds.
