UPDATED:

Initially slated for a summer slot following its debut at last years Cannes Film Festival, A24 moved writer-director David Robert Mitchells Under The Silver Lake to late fall and then finally gave it a spring start. Its opening weekend $40K-plus start in a crowded market gave the title some legs.

Noted A24 Sunday: “Audiences turned out for David Robert Mitchells impeccably crafted neo-noir starring Andrew Garfield in a terrific lead performance. The polarizing film will roll out theatrically into top markets next week…” Under The Silver Lake will also be available on demand through home entertainment platforms starting Tuesday, April 23.
