$44,000

That's how much Irish 'blockbuster' Black 47 has made at the USA box office! As expected our illiterate media describes it as Ireland's first famine movie but anyone who reads this blog will have heard of Under the hawthorn tree. The problem with Irish film is it will always be considered art house abroad; there's a tiny market for this. Roll on the IFTAS!
