Additionally, it has also earned over $7 million in Australia. Reports by Pippa Harris and Danny Perkins indicate that they are producers on the fantasy adventure. Following the movie’s success, Harris revealed how they had been trying to adapt Blyton’s books for a long time.
‘I first tried to get the rights for about 20 years ago. We’ve been running Neal Street for over 25 years, and it was quite an early project for us, but the rights situation was very complicated, and it took a long time to unpick,’ she said. The movie is also based on other book-based movies like ‘The Housemaid’ and ‘Wuthering Heights’ which performed exceptionally well.
