Erwin brothers’ ‘Moms’ Night Out’ hits theaters

Andy Erwin, director/editor/producer of ‘Moms’ Night Out,’ and his wife, Mandy, walk the red carpet at the film’s Alabama premiere held at AmStar Cinema 14 in Alabaster on May 9. The film opened in seventh place on Mother’s Day weekend, earning approximately $4.2 million, but was ranked third in ticket sales based on the number of theaters where it was shown. Also at the red carpet event were Andy’s brother, Jon, who also directed, produced and co-wrote the film; actors Robert Amaya and Kevin Downes; and the film’s cinematographer, Kris Kimlin. The Birmingham-based Erwin brothers are known for their films featuring stories of redemption and faith, including 2011’s ‘October Baby.’
