Chandler Levack's film had a strong first-week theatrical finish with $230K at the Canadian box office


This week, Canadian music icons Avril Lavigne and LIGHTS released covers from Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill, inspired by the film MILE END KICKS. The film follows Grace Channing (played by Barbie Ferreira), an emerging music writer who moves to Montreal to write a book about Morissette’s 1995 era-defining album. Avril Lavigne covered the hit "Ironic," and LIGHTS put her spin on the single "Right Through You."


MILE END KICKS had an incredible first week at the Canadian box office, finishing at $230K and marking a strong performance for the independent release. The film is currently projected to reach $450K in its theatrical run in Canada. Top-performing theatres included Cinema du Parc, Cineplex Forum, and ByTowne Cinema. Stateside, where the film was released by Sumerian Records, AMC Empire and AMC Village were the top-performing theatres.


MILE END KICKS is nominated for seven Canadian Screen Awards and is currently playing in theatres across Canada. Director Chandler Levack will appear in person for special Q&A screenings on Monday, April 27, at the Playhouse in Hamilton and Tuesday, April 28, at the Fox Theatre in Toronto.

Grace Pine, a 23-year-old music critic from Toronto, moves to Montreal in the summer of 2011 with the goal of writing a 33 1/3 book about Alanis Morrisette’s Jagged Little Pill. Instead, she falls in love with two guys in the same struggling indie rock band, vowing to become their publicist. “Mile End Kicks” is a film about the Montreal music scene, romantic obsession, and Mile End, a place where young people go to retire.
