It’s worth mentioning that one of the lead parts in the sequel is performed by Tomasz Sobczak - Polish stage and screen actor, theater director. Tomasz speaks Russian, and he had to learn Ukrainian specially for his part in the ‘Crazy Wedding 2’ to sound natural.
“We are very happy to introduce our film to the Polish audience. Polish Film market is large and well-developed, and we note a considerable interest in Ukrainian films on it. The entry of the ‘Crazy Wedding 2’ into the Polish distribution is a worthy result of this tendency, and we hope that the audience will be pleased by it,” - says Igor Storchak, CEO FILM.UA Distribution.
Apart from the theatrical release, the TV rights for both films of the CRAZY WEDDING franchise were acquired by a Polish TV channel Puls TV. This is an unprecedented case for the Ukrainian film industry: while Ukrainian TV series were previously acquired by Polish TV channels in the past, it's the first time a feature film is released in the territory.
Meanwhile, the comedy is still in Ukrainian theaters. In the first month it has grossed a 41 133 828 UAH box-office and 442 965 admissions.
Also, ‘Crazy Wedding’ has become the first Ukrainian film that was adapted internationally: the format rights were sold to Lithuania and got its adaptation titled ‘Importinis jaunikis’ (Imported Husband-to-be) which is to be premiered in Lithuania cinemas on January 31st.
