Danny Collins the film was written and directed by Dan Fogelman in his feature directorial debut. Inspired by the true story of folk singer Steve Tilston.
The film that was released in theaters on March 20, 2015 in the North America, opens today in Costa Rica in San Pedro, Cinemark Escazú y Este, Cinépolis Terramall and Paseo Metropoli, Citi Cariari and Citi Jacó.
