28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, and 12 seconds...ten years later

Ten years ago today Donnie Darko opened in just 58 theaters and during its domestic run made just $1,270,522. With a budget of $4.5 million it missed breaking even grossing just over $4.1 million worldwide. It was by word of mouth, midnight showings, and video sale it grew to become a cult classic and one of the most influential films of the decade.Just like the plot of the movie it filmed over the course of 28 days. And like the plot it changed a generation, as it defied definition. A movie of a world straddling reality and unknown alternative outcomes affected by the choices each makes and those each are destined to live.Richard Kelly created nostalgia for an era gone by, and at the same time the future yet to happen while capturing the universality of the angst of adolescence.


Jake's performance as the flawed Donnie will remain one of the iconic performances of his career.
There is so much more to say, but want to hear what you think about this modern cult classic.And so no one doubts a commitment to Sparkle Motion.
