In the note
Right now it looks like a weekend of about $5 or $6 million. But when everything is good but the title, this is one more example of ’the movie business is hard’. Beau is Afraid - They expanded to a little less than 1000 screens after last week’s exceptional exclusive run, and as you would expect from a 3 hour art film, the grosses are pretty good in the sophisticated theaters and fall off pretty fast as you get out into the burbs.
