She plays Kate Winslet's sister. Don't bother watching the movie, though. I saw it on DVD and it's a waste of talent.

I wasn't planning to watch it, but now even less lol. Never looked any good to me even with the killer cast.

Nice size crowd at my Accountant showing.  Though I was probably the youngest by about thirty years.

 

Movie was great btw

As awards season heats up, the big headline at the specialty box office is filmmaker Barry Jenkins' Moonlight, which is off to a shining start as A24 opens the critically acclaimed drama in four theaters in New York and Los Angeles. Early returns suggest Moonlight could post a theater average of $70,000, one of the best showings of the year to date.

 I already explained why it is obviously an underperformer while the other is locked to give a strong profit during his theatrical run.

 

Well it's not underperforming today. So your title is premature and meaningless.

Promising numbers for the sequels. Jonesses looked silly but enough to put people into theaters. 

[Fanboy]

Well if that $70 000 PTA estimate for Moonlight holds true then it would be a better start than Carol so that's very good.

Pretty meh for all three sequels, but none of them looked like big breakouts in the making.

 

That being said, there's something hilariously prophetic about Chris Rock's Top Five, in which a movie called Boo! A Madea Halloween was pulling in good business while a controversial film about a slave uprising bombs.

CJohn, also take into account the fact that Madea will drop softly next weekend, since Halloween.

Oh but it is. And I already explained why. If you like to be wrong you can stay wrong.

I don't think CJohn likes Lionsgate very much.

I like them the same way I like the other studios. It is just funny their only hit of the year is a partnership with CBS films. Everything else is a bomb, an underperformer and/or a franchise killer.

Don't let this thread about mid-October numbers get heated, jesus guys
