‘The Wilde Girls' Scores Strong Opening Weekend Following North Hollywood Red Carpet Premiere
"Above: Stars Lydia Pearl Pentz, Teddy Smith and Cali Scolari attend the red carpet event this last Friday at the iconic One On One Recording Studios prior to the world premiere screening of The Wilde Girls." The Wilde Girls is gaining momentum after a successful red carpet premiere in North Hollywood this weekend, with audience turnout growing steadily and industry buzz building fast. The film, directed by Timothy Hines and produced by Susan Goforth, opened its theatrical run Friday with a premiere at the Laemmle NoHo 7 following a high-energy red carpet event hosted at One On One Recording Studios, a historic venue where music legends like Prince, Joan Jett, and Herbie Hancock have recorded. Above: Lydia Pearl Pentz and Cali Scolari walk the red carpet for the premiere screening of The Wilde GIrls now playing at the Laemmle NoHo7 Theater in North Hollywood. Starring Cali Scolari, Lydia Pearl Pentz, and Teddy Smith, the The Wilde Girls is set in 1932, the Great Depression is in full swing and heiresses the Widle sisters, glamorous, clueless and suddenly broke, are totally out of their element when they find themselves lost in the pre-elecrified wilderness of the Pacific Northwest. Armed with nothing but high fashion and hopeless instincts, Tinsley and Matties stumble through bear country, bad decisions and one very grumpy mountain man who'd rather wrestle raccoons than rescue rich girls. Think Bridesmaids meets Legally Blonde in hiking boots.

Wilderness, Wardrobes, Total Meltdown, The Wilde Girls – A Glam-Survival Comedy Movie Opens Tomorrow in L.A.
"Above: Cali Scolari, Lydia Pearl Pentz and Teddy Smith meet in Timothy Hines' The Wilde Girls, opening this Friday, May 30 at Laemmle NoHo 7 in North Hollywood and June 6 at Cinema Village in NYC. 'Another great thing about the film is that the cast manages to surprise with its performances. Cali Scolari, daughter of Emmy Award-winner Peter Scolari & Broadway star Cathy Trien, plays Tinsley in her feature film debut and manages to make a lasting impression."" What happens when two spoiled heiresses lose it all and have to walk their way through the wilds of 1930s Washington state—in heels? You get The Wilde Girls, the wildly funny, big-hearted new comedy from visionary director Timothy Hines (10 Days in a Madhouse, Tomorrow's Today), opening this Friday, May 30 at Laemmle NoHo 7 in North Hollywood and June 6 at Cinema Village in NYC. Above: The Wilde Girls. PENDRAGON PICTURES LOS ANGELES, CA - May 29, 2025 - 'On-location shots beautifully showcase the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest, giving the wilderness a personality of its own.' - Jessie Hobson, Cinedump Set during the Great Depression — but with major Clueless-meets-Oregon-Trail vibes — The Wilde Girls follows sisters Tinsley and Mattie Wilde, two hilariously out-of-touch socialites played with scene-stealing flair by Lydia Pearl Pentz and Cali Scolari. When their conniving aunts (the wickedly fun Susan Goforth and Heidi Kravitz) swipe the family fortune, the girls are tossed into the dark forests of pre-electricity America... armed with zero survival skills and a very unfortunate choice in shoes. 'The Wilde Girls is a damn good time. From its likable protagonists to the twists and turns in the adventure in the dense forests of Oregan, the film takes us on a memorable journey.' - IndieWrap They've got one shot at making it out alive: a grumpy, off-the-grid mountain man named Silas Colter (played by beloved comic Teddy Smith) — whose truck they blow up upon meeting. Oops. Add in a sarcastic hitman named Mr. Button (Matt Silver, devilishly deadpan) and the stakes get higher (and funnier) with every step. Above: The Wilde Girls PENDRAGON PICTURES 'Writer/director Timothy Hines takes us back in time to the golden era of film, specifically the comedies. The sisters remind me of Laurel and Hardy in the sense that the comedy and plot surround the dynamics between Tinsley and Mattie, wonderfully played by Lydia Pearl Pentz and Cali Scolari (respectively)'. - Film Threat Co-starring in the movie is comic Teddy Smith who delivers a wonderfully crusty performance as recluse Silas Colter, who on first encounter with the girls has his beloved truck accidentally blown up by them. 'Teddy Smith adds strong support as Silas, grounding the chaos with a world-weary warmth that makes his eventual bond with the girls feel surprisingly genuine.' - Jessie Hobson, Cinedump Above: The Wilde Girls. PENDRAGON PICTURES "I grew up loving movies like Legally Blonde, Mean Girls, and Clueless — stories where glam meets grit,' says director Hines. 'The Wilde Girls is a love letter to those kinds of movies — but set in a world where the phone is a tree, and your Limo is your feet.' Laugh-out-loud comedy meets fierce female energy in the untamed Northwest — with vintage coats and zero chill. This isn't just survival — it's a total identity makeover, one muddy mile at a time. Above: The Wilde Girls. PENDRAGON PICTURES With lush period detail, iconic one-liners, and moments so cringy they're glorious, The Wilde Girls is the comedy adventure you didn't know you needed this summer. 'The film finds emotional footing in its themes of sisterhood, personal growth, and the search for meaning beyond wealth.' - Gordon Shelly, Influx Magazine Above: The Wilde Girls. PENDRAGON PICTURES 'Timothy Hines manages to make a great film, one that works on multiple levels.' - IndieWrap The Wilde Girls opens May 30 in Los Angeles, June 6 in New York, and nationwide this July. Grab your besties, bring snacks, and prepare to laugh until you cry (or cry until you laugh—same thing). Get lost. Get found. Get Wilde.

The Wilde Girls Roar Into Theaters May 30th – Opening at LA's Iconic Laemmle NoHo 7
Cali Scolari, daughter of legendary actor, the late Peter Scolari, stars in her debut role with Lydia Pearl Pentz in The Wilde Girls, opening May 30th at the Laemmle NoHo 7 across the US in July. Grab your popcorn (and your hiking boots)! The Wilde Girls, the wild new survival comedy from director Timothy Hines, is officially opening at the legendary Laemmle NoHo 7 theater in Los Angeles starting May 30th, 2025! Los Angeles, CA - Known for championing independent cinema since 1938, Laemmle Theaters has been the launchpad for some of the most beloved, daring films in movie history — and now, they're welcoming The Wilde Girls, a hilarious, heartfelt survival story that proves being spoiled is no match for Mother Nature. Directed by Timothy Hines ( 10 Days in a Madhouse ) and produced by Susan Goforth, The Wilde Girls stars breakout talents Cali Scolari — daughter of the late, great Emmy Award-winning actor Peter Scolari, longtime Tom Hanks collaborator — and rising star Lydia Pearl Pentz, who's already completed work on four upcoming feature films. Joining them is Teddy Smith, known as 'New York's Favorite Comic,' bringing a dose of real-world wit to the film's wilderness chaos. Fresh off graduating from the prestigious Stella Adler Academy, Cali is proudly carrying on the family tradition of great acting — her father was none other than Peter Scolari, Emmy Award winner and star in classics like Bosom Buddies (with Tom Hanks!), Newhart, and Girls. Now it's Cali's turn to shine — and she's absolutely owning it. About the Film: Set in 1932 during the height of the Great Depression, The Wilde Girls follows sisters Tinsley and Mattie Wilde, two pampered New York socialites who lose their fortune overnight — and end up stranded deep in the wilderness with no idea how to survive. No cell phones. No credit cards. No clue. Think Clueless — but with bears. Think The Revenant — but with better shoes. 'This is the story of what happens when you lose every advantage you thought made you powerful,' says producer Susan Goforth. 'It's a hilarious, emotional journey about sisterhood, grit, and finding out who you really are.' With its smart humor, gorgeous 1930s aesthetic, and uplifting message, The Wilde Girls is set to capture hearts — and have audiences laughing out loud. Early viewers are calling it 'a riot with real heart' and 'the feel-good surprise of the year.' Following its Laemmle NoHo 7 launch, The Wilde Girls will open on June 6th at New York's historic Cinema Village — another iconic theater — before expanding across the U.S. in July. Get ready to laugh, cry (just a little), and cheer for the funniest survival story ever to hit the big screen. #TheWildeGirls #LaemmleLove #SurvivalLooksGoodOnYou #SpoiledButScrappy Press & Screener Inquiries: [Susan Goforth [email protected]] Media Contact Company Name: Pendragon Pictures Contact Person: Susan Goforth Email: Send Email Phone: +1 310-480-0837 City: Los Angeles State: CA Country: United States Website: Press Release Distributed by To view the original version on ABNewswire visit: The Wilde Girls Roar Into Theaters May 30th - Opening at LA's Iconic Laemmle NoHo 7
