“It has been wonderful to see The Quiet Girl connecting with audiences in such a deeply emotional way. Many thanks to everyone for coming out to see this special film and to all the cinemas for their unwavering support,” they said.Ĭurzon MD Louise Dent agreed the result was “a remarkable achievement”. “It’s a phenomenal achievement for any film to cross the €1 million mark, but especially now given the increasingly difficult market. The previously highest-grossing film was the potato famine drama Arracht, which grossed €164,000 for UK and Ireland.įirst released in May, The Quiet Girl has been in cinemas for 22 weeks.īreak Out Pictures co-heads Nell Roddy and Robert McCann Finn said the result was particularly significant given the gloomy theatrical picture in the backdrop.

He was spending the group’s money on haircuts, on liquor, on storable food reserves, on personal riot gear. “The only person who really knows where all of the group’s money went is Stewart Rhodes. At times, it felt like Stewart was spending the money he brought in from the Oath Keepers on everything but his family. There, he restricted their six kids to a cold, unfinished basement and homeschooling with Tasha as he jetted off around the country. He moved them into an isolated cabin in the woods of Montana. And the money coming in also further fueled Stewart’s control over the family. But it wasn’t easy. “It was really hard for me to say no to him, very hard for me to tell him, but I need to back away,” Tasha told us.īut the Oath Keepers continued to grow even without Tasha’s involvement. Instead, Tasha took her first quiet stand against Stewart and what he was building.
