Film in the Irish language An Cailn Ciin has earned more than €1 million at the Irish-UK box office, according to official figures.
The film, which tells the tale of a little girl named Cáit and her transforming visit to foster parents, has been playing in Irish and British theatres since its May premiere.
It is based on Irish author Claire Keegan’s novella Foster.
The film’s Twitter account stated that it has already grossed more than €1 million at the Irish-UK box offices.
An Cailn Ciin (The Quiet Girl) was favourably regarded, winning several awards and screening at a number of international film festivals. It received seven IFTA nominations, including Best Film.
The film was announced in August as Ireland’s entry for the Oscars’ Best International Feature Film category.
Director of the film Colm Bairéad and producer, Cleona Ní Chrualaoi of Inscéal, said they are “truly humbled by the manner in which audiences in Ireland and the UK have embraced our film”.
