Focus Features Moves ‘Mrs. Harris Goes To Paris’ To Midsummer

Focus Features has pushed Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris from May 6 to July 15.

This is not on account of the pandemic but rather to provide the film with some breathing room against Focus’ Downton Abbey: A New Era, which debuts on May 20.

Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris will be a moderate release and open on the same weekend as Sony’s Brad Pitt actioner Bullet Train and STX horror movie Bed Rest.

Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris follows a seemingly ordinary British housekeeper whose dream to own a couture Christian Dior gown takes her on an extraordinary adventure to Paris. The film stars Lesley Manville, Isabelle Huppert, Jason Isaacs, Lambert Wilson, Alba Baptista, Lucas Bravo and Rose Williams.

The pic is directed by Anthony Fabian (Skin, Good Hope) and written by Fabian, Carroll Cartwright, Keith Thompson and Olivia Hetreed based on Paul Gallico’s the novella. Producers are Xavier Marchand, Guillaume Benski and Fabian.

Focus has domestic, and Universal has foreign. eOne financed the project with support from the National Film Institute of Hungary.
