    TALLINN: Zero.Point, the debut feature by Estonian director Mihkel Ulk, scored an impressive opening weekend with 9,581 viewers.

    The teenage drama of a troubled boy in a new school is based on a bestselling novel by the same name from Margus Karu. The opening weekend numbers are some of the best for any Estonian film over the last decade.

    The box office take from the opening weekend was 48,630 EUR. Zero.Point is produced by Allfilm and budgeted at approximately 250,000 EUR, the bulk of it coming from the Estonian Public Broadcaster and the production company, with the Estonian Film Institute contributing development, distribution and marketing support.

    The content is coming out on multiple platforms, with a TV mini-series following the cinema premiere, as well as an app for tablet and smartphones.
