IndieWire: Cosmopolis Scores Solid Debut
According to IndieWire:
David Cronenberg’s Robert Pattinson-starring “Cosmopolis” led a slew of specialty debuts at the box office weekend, taking in $72,327 from just 3 screens for a $24,109 average.
“Cosmopolis” had the highest per-theater-average of any film in release, indie or studio — and topped a crowded frame of 7 opening films. Among them, “Robot and Frank” and “Compliance” — both alums of the 2012 Sundance Film Festival — fared best, managing averages of $19,100 and $16,000, respectively.
… Â That’s well below the debut of Cronenberg’s last film “A Dangerous Method” (which averaged $41,988 from 4 screens last November), but far exceeding the debut “Cosmopolis” had in Cronenberg’s native Canada earlier this summer.
Entertainment One gave “Cosmopolis” a limited release north of the border in June. On 24 screens, the film grossed just $56,566 over its first weekend, less than it did in the United States on just 3 screens. How it fares as it expands outside the most major markets in the latter remains to be seen.”

Thanks Maria. LOVE that Rob’s US fans followed thru with his request last weekend ~ let’s hope it continues. Sounds like Martha’s wasn’t the only full cinema, which is great.
