SPI "dis"claims 2009 record opening weekend

By FNE Staff
    SPI International Poland's Lords of the Flies' racked up impressive opening week-end numbers, with 157,344 admissions, comparing favorably to 2008's top ten Polish films.
    But it was the company's tongue-in-cheek announcement that set a tone in keeping with the film, with the company claiming it "would not take any responsibility" for the long queues, disruptive laughter, and euphoria (along with a suspect report of fainting). The raunchy animated comedy is based on a popular Polish cult cartoon TV series.
