Easily the most acclimated and talked-about film at Sundance last month, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl has now officially announced when it's making the jump from film festivals to theaters near you.
According to Slashfilm, the critical hit and fan-favorite of the festival comes out in limited release on July 1. While Fox Searchlight, the studio that acquired the feature, has not announced when it comes out in more theaters, if its as crowd-pleasing and possibly award-winning as some pundits make it out to be, there's a good chance it'll come to other theaters in a short amount of time.
Winner of both the U.S. Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award at Sundance, two of the highest awards of the film festival and a feat also accomplished by Oscar-favorite Whiplash last year, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl is based on the book of the same name by Jesse Andrews and stars Thomas Mann, Olivia Cooke, Jon Bernthal, Connie Britton and Nick Offerman.
This is, of course, just one of many indie hits coming to theaters near you this year from Sundance. Others also include Mississippi Grind, starring Ryan Reynolds, The End of the Tour, a David Foster Wallace biopic starring Jason Segel and Dope.
