In January 2015 the company announced that the film would open in the United States on April 11 of that year, and be released on VOD, DVD and Blu-ray.
Reception
Following the films Irish premiere, NextProjection called the film a "juicy jaunt of a tale," and said that "like a Raymond Chandler cannibalisation, Candlestick may feed off the familiar, but its the sport with which it spits it back out that makes it feel so fresh".
The film won three awards at the 30 Dies Fantastic Film Festival, Andorra: best screenplay (Forgacs W. Andras and Christopher Presswell); best original score (Jonathan Armandary); and best actor, shared by Andrew Fitch, Isla Ure, Nigel Thomas and Tom Knight.
