Pacific Northwest Pictures is banking on Gone Girl star Rosamund Pike catching some gold dust with her Oscar best actress nomination after acquiring the Canadian rights to the British family comedy What We Did on Our Holiday.

The indie film, from the directing-screenwriting team of Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin, also stars David Tennant and Billy Connolly.

Pacific Northwest, which did the distribution deal with UK-based Independent Sales Company, plans a summer 2015 theatrical release across Canada.

What We Did on Our Holidays, released by Lionsgate stateside, is produced by BBC Films in association with Creative Scotland, Lipsync Productions and Origins Pictures.
