Picturehouse Entertainment opened Hamlet in the UK in March on more than 300 screens.
The film is executive produced for Genesius Pictures by Julian Gleek, Quidem Productions by Ralph Bernard and Simon Cooper, Royal Exchange Theatre by Fiona Gasper, and produced by Anne Beresford and Debbie Gray.
Richard Abramowitz, president of Abramorama, negotiated the deal with Robbie Little, co-president of The Little Film Company.
