Outperformed 23 of 26 of the 2017 releases from major indie distributor IFC and all 32 of Kino Lorber's. A massive opening week at the Landmark Lagoon Cinema in Minneapolis with more admissions opening week than the film with the top screen average in the US that week resulting in a 4-week extension with approx. 3,500 admissions. Number one film in some multiplexes: most recently beating major Hollywood contenders: Thor, Daddy's Home 2 & Murder on the Orient Express. Top film of 2017 from Oklahoma Film Critics Circle reviewer Louis Fowler https://goo.gl/wynFSg & his original review https://goo.gl/c9jMB4 The 2nd best-performing film in 52 weeks at Kiggins Theatre in Vancouver, WA behind local actor Sam Elliot's "Hero". It outperformed all but 1 of the Hollywood blockbusters playing the nearby 12 screen multiplex yet had only 6 shows that week. Its had runs in 39 theatres between Oregon and Washington including a nine week long run in one. It is more than most of the major release by Major Fox Searchlight or Sony Classics films. Out-grossing established independent films like Cannes winner I, Daniel Blake, and films like Chuck, Obit, Wakefield and My Life as a Zucchini. Wider release than Frantz, Viceroy's House, Lucky, Columbus, & Cannes Winner, The Square. 116 theatres from less than 15% of the US market so far. Draws a strong older audience & often schools. Stronger matinee & midweek performance than average films so works well also for special event showings. Breakdown of cinemas played: 40% Commercial Multiplex - 20% Small Commercial - 40% Indie/Art House.
