‘Inglourious Basterds’ Tops ‘Pulp Fiction’ as Tarantino’s Highest Grossing Film Ever!

Press Release
September 21, 2009 – The Weinstein Company (TWC) is pleased to announce Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds surpassed Pulp Fiction at the box office and is now the filmmaker’s highest grossing film ever. Inglourious Basterds has now grossed over $108 million in North American box office receipts since its initial release on August 21, 2009.
Pulp Fiction, previously Tarantino’s best North American performance, took in $107,966,120 in its North American release. Inglourious Basterds is an international success for TWC and its partner, Universal Pictures. The film opened at #1 in the US and around the world on August 21, 2009.
“We have been Quentin’s biggest fans since the beginning. It was extremely gratifying to see ‘Inglourious Basterds’ put up such huge numbers. It is a kick ass film from a director who always keeps me and audiences on their toes, said Harvey Weinstein in response to the new benchmark.
Weinstein credits the success to a first rate film and an innovative marketing plan. The film was the first to make use of Twitter and other social networking sites in such a direct fashion, even involving Twitter in the film’s LA premiere. “It was great working with Biz Stone at Twitter on ‘Inglourious.’ It took the campaign to another level,” says Weinstein. -

His spectacular performance earned him a best actor award at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, and he is practically guaranteed a 2010 best supporting actor Oscar nomination next winter.
“…I will always be indebted to Quentin (Tarantino) for giving me this gift…"
