The weekend was a gone one for movies nominated for Oscars.
All of them were up a lot. “The Fabelmans” rose by 73%, “Women Talking” — which re-entered theaters completely, was up 144%, “Banshees” cut off a lot of finger up 383%, “Everything Everywhere” — also a total comeback to theaters — made a million bucks, also “Tar” paved its own way,
Not so good was “The Whale,” which failed to get a Best Picture nom but has two acting nods for Brendan Fraser and Honh Chau. The spout fell by 20% over last weekend.
Biggest surprise of the weekend was a two hour, forty minute Bollywood film called “Pathaan,” bringing in $6 million. Neon’s “Infinity Pool” swam to $2.7 million.
And don’t bat an eyelash at Eilish: the mopey pop star’s live concert film. “Live at the 02 Arena,” raked in $1.3 million at 596 theaters, a robust $2,164 per site. That film has no time to die, as they say.
