‘MobLand’ Star’s New Thriller Officially Removed From Nearly 1K Theaters Ahead of Digital Release

Helen Mirren’s thriller *A Talent for Murder* is moving to premium video-on-demand on 17 November, as its cinema run winds down. The film’s theatre count has fallen from a peak of 874 to 34, following domestic box office takings of about $1.1 million.

Directed by Anton Corbijn, the film casts Mirren as author Patricia Highsmith and Alden Ehrenreich as a fan who travels to Europe to persuade her to write another Ripley story, with sinister consequences; Olivia Cooke also appears. It premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and opened in cinemas on 23 October. Reviews have been positive, with a 78% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
