FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PEACE ARCH ENTERTAINMENT EXPANDS RELEASE OF CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED ‘CHAPTER 27’

CONTROVERSIAL FILM DELIVERS NATIONS’ HIGHEST PER SCREEN AVERAGE OF $13,900 ON WEEKEND OPENING

Toronto – April 4, 2008 – Peace Arch® Entertainment Group Inc. (AMEX:PAE - News) (TSX:PAE.TO - News), an integrated global entertainment company, today announced that its acclaimed and controversial feature film about the assassin of Beatle John Lennon, “Chapter 27,” delivered this past weekend’s highest per screen average in the nation in its debut at New York City’s Angelika theater with a three-day average of $13,900.  “Chapter 27” expands to 5 screens in New York and Los Angeles this weekend and will roll out to more than 25 additional cities, including San Francisco, Chicago, Boston and Seattle, over the next several weeks.

The third film to be released by Peace Arch in the U.S., “Chapter 27” follows last month’s debut of the riveting hostage drama “Towards Darkness” and last summer’s release of Tom DiCillo’s successful and award-winng “Delirious.” The independent distributor has been moving aggressively to expand its North American cinematic presence, having previously released Steve Buscemi’s “Interview” and the action-adventure “In the Name of the King” in Canadian theaters.

“We’re delighted with this weekend’s performance of ‘Chapter 27’ in the nation’s largest market of New York and look forward to its roll-out in additional cities,” said Peace Arch Entertainment President-COO John Flock. “The film’s success helps to cement our company’s reputation as one of the leading independent producers and distributors in the North American motion picture industry.”

The psychological drama “Chapter 27”, a controversial exploration of  Mark David Chapman’s gradual breakdown during the days leading up to his murder of Lennon, features a riveting performance by Jared Leto (“Requiem For A Dream,” “Panic Room,” “Fight Club”), along with Judah Friedlander (“Zoolander,” “Meet The Parents”) and Lindsay Lohan (“Mean Girls,” “Freaky Friday,” “Herbie Fully Loaded“).  Jarrett Schaefer wrote and directed the film produced by Robert Salerno, Naomi Despres and Alexandra Milchan.  “Chapter 27” had its world premiere at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival and its European premiere at the Zurich Film Festival, where Schaefer won the prize for best debut feature.
