EXCLUSIVE: Greenwich Entertainment has picked up U.S. distribution rights to the French comedy Two Tickets to Greece (aka Les Cyclades), starring César Award winner Laure Calamy (Call My Agent!), Olivia Côte (My Donkey, My Lover & I) and Academy Award nominee Kristin Scott Thomas (The English Patient). It’ll be released in theaters on July 14.
The film is set to open against Searchlight Pictures’ Sundance comedy Theater Camp, IFC Films’ Lakota Nation vs. United States, Roadside Attractions’ sports doc Black Ice, Kino Lorber’s horror comedy Final Cut from filmmaker Michel Hazanavicius, Vertical’s rom-com The Modelizer, Crunchyroll’s Psycho-Pass Providence and MM2 Entertainment’s thriller Shadows.
Written and directed by Marc Fitoussi, who worked with Calamy on Call My Agent!, Two Tickets to Greece tells the story of Blandine (Côte), who is recently divorced and helplessly watching her only son leave home when her former best friend Magalie (Calamy) suddenly resurfaces and encourages them to take the Greek Islands trip they dreamed of as teenagers. However, Magalie’s very different approach to travel – and life – wreaks havoc on their vacation, including a memorable stay with Magalie’s free-spirited friend (Thomas).
Pic’s producers are Caroline Bonmarchand and Isaac Sherry.
“When the deliriously madcap Laure Calamy decides to take a holiday to the Greek Isles with her besties, audiences that appreciate smartly written and acted vacation comedies in exotic locales will be delighted to come along,” said Greenwich’s Edward Arentz in a statement to Deadline.
Arentz negotiated the acquisition on behalf of Greenwich Entertainment, with Nicolas Eschbach from Indie Sales on behalf of the filmmakers.

Travis Scott will not face charges following a deadly crowd surge at Astroworld Music Festival.The rapper launched the festival alongside concert promoters Live Nation in 2018, however, during a performance on November 5 2021, thousands were left injured when the over-capacity crowd surged towards the front of the stage during Scott’s headline performance.10 people were killed by compressive asphyxiation during the show — with victims aged between age nine and 27.At the time, Scott said that the tragedy had left him “devastated” but didn’t realise quite how severe the events were until he left the stage. Following the incident, thousands of plaintiffs came forward, asking for what tallied to be billions of dollars in potential damages.As per Rolling Stone, those coming forward with claims have cited several allegations including poor planning from festival organisers and a lack of security as contributing to the crowd rush.An investigation was launched by both federal officials and Houston police, to uncover whether Scott or Live Nation implemented adequate safety measures for the event.In the time following the incident, both Scott and Drake faced backlash for continuing their performance while the crush was happening in the audience.
A grand jury in Harris Country, Texas has declined to indict Travis Scott in relation to the Astroworld tragedy that occurred in November 2021. Jurors likewise concluded that there we insufficient grounds to pursue criminal charges against five other people involved in organising the event.Ten people died and hundreds more were injured when a crowd surge occurred during Scott’s headline set at the Houston-based festival he founded, which took place at the city’s NRG Park on 5 Nov 2021.A criminal investigation got underway almost immediately, with police investigating whether the actions of Scott and various other people working on the Live Nation-promoted festival contributed to the crowd surge.That investigation was completed last week and resulted in a report that runs to over 1000 pages.
