Successful local productions
(Cologne/Amsterdam, 30 April 2024) - For more than four months now, the
children's film 'Juf Braaksel en de Magische Ring', which Splendid Film
produced together with its co-production partner AM Pictures, has enjoyed an
enormous audience response. With almost 240,000 admissions to date, the
production joins the ranks of the Splendid Group's successful children's
films and local productions in the Benelux countries.
The film adaptation of the well-known children's book of the same name by
Dutch author Carry Slee continues to delight children and families in the
Netherlands. The plot: Lotte and Thijs are happy with their wonderful
teacher Miss Evi. However, everything changes dramatically when the sinister
Miss Braaksel (Juf Braaksel) becomes headmistress: Birthdays are no longer
celebrated, phones and sweets are strictly forbidden and class trips are
abolished. The children have to come up with something to get rid of the
evil Juf Braaksel! Can Miss Evi's magic ring help them?
'Alongside our previous franchises 'Misfit' and the 'Slimefilm' series, Juf
Braaksel provides entertainment with familiar faces and local themes for the
audience. This is what makes our Dutch co-productions so successful,' says
Thomas Wolff, Managing Director of Splendid Film B.V., which is responsible
for marketing the films in the Benelux countries.
'Since 2016, our Group company Splendid Film B.V. has been a real success
story,' says Andreas R. Klein, CEO of Splendid Medien AG. 'We see increasing
potential in the (co-)production and marketing of our own local film rights,
which we want to intensify and further expand.'
Further co-productions with various partners in the Netherlands are planned
for 2024. The genre spectrum ranges from another live-action adaptation of
the 'Juf Braaksel' theme and romantic comedies for young adults to horror
films. The local horror film 'Jimmy', a co-production with Bloodrave Films,
is currently being shot.
Splendid Film B.V., Amsterdam, a Splendid Group company, distributes films
for Dutch and Belgian cinemas, for international streaming platforms such as
Netflix and Prime Video and for local platforms such as Pathé Thuis. In
addition, Splendid Film B.V. focuses on the development, co-production and
distribution of Dutch films such as the successful 'Misfit' and 'Slijmfilm'
series, 'K3 Love Cruise' and 'De Dirigent'. In addition to a large selection
of local content, Splendid Film B.V. also distributes international
Hollywood productions such as the Oscar winner 'Moonlight', the horror film
sensation 'Hereditary' and the war drama 'Hacksaw Ridge'. The success of
'Juf Braaksel en de Magische Ring' will be continued with the production of
a second part of the live-action film adaptation, which will be launched
later this year.
