For specialties, the weekend was all about the second weekend holdovers, as regular release specialty newcomers tread lightly. Fox Searchlight’s The Favourite, starring Olivia Colman, Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz, reigned again as the weekend’s highest per-theater average.
The Venice and Telluride debut by Yorgos Lanthimos is coming in at $1,105,000 in the three-day estimate, averaging $32,500. The Favourite bowed with the year’s highest opening weekend PTA at $105K.
Magnolia Pictures Palme d’Or winner Shoplifters added runs in its second frame, grossing a solid $106K in 14 locations, averaging $7,571. Other second weekend holdovers also had added runs. Music Box Films’ Becoming Astrid jumped to 15 theaters from three in its opening frame. The bio-drama grossed $18,934, averaging $1,262. And Greenwich Entertainment doc The World Before Your Feet played several more locations in its second weekend, grossing $15,655 in six theaters, averaging $2,609.

Thanksgiving weekend was bountiful for Fox Searchlight’s The Favourite. The period drama, starring Olivia Colman, Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz, and set against the whimsical court of Queen Anne in 18th century England, ascended atop the year’s list of best opening weekend per theater averages.
Opening Friday, the Yorgos Lanthimos-directed film grossed $420,000 in four New York and Los Angeles theaters, averaging $105K. The Favourite is one of the top two or three openers for Searchlight (depending on how the box office settles after the weekend), and tops the previous 2018 best PTA opener, Suspiria, with a $92K average when it bowed in late October.
Alfonso Cuarón’s anticipated Roma began its limited theatrical runs ahead of its Netflix bow. The company is not reporting numbers, as usual, but anecdotally it looks like it is a hit with audiences, with crowds packing theaters where the film is playing. One...

An engaging illustration of the difference between merely looking and really seeing, Jeremy Workman’s “The World Before Your Feet” profiles Matt Green, whose current occupation is walking every block of New York City. It’s a labor of love that’s already consumed years, with no end yet in sight — but then, Green is most definitely an “It’s the journey, not the destination” type. This portrait of one man’s eccentric yet appealing, even enviable quest is a gently philosophical exercise in armchair travel that underlines how much of our own immediate “world” we take for granted.
The thirtysomething Green is a former civil engineer who at some point decided a desk job — or any conventional employment — was not for him, and for whom this isn’t his first such rodeo. But that coast-to-coast journey took just five months. Green’s subsequent, ongoing task may end up covering three times that 3,000-mile length,...

It’s projected that over 500,000 cats roam the streets of New York each year, abandoned by their owners causing a nascence for their communities and a real problem for several big-hearted New Yorkers who make it their mission to solve the problem. Following volunteers Sassee, Claire, Stu, and Tara, The Cat Rescuers follows individuals who are often not of great means in their quest to capture, spade, nurture, and often nurse cats back to health for adoption. Some like Stu, a radio technician for the New York Fire Department, have the means to run quasi shelters in their garage. For Stu, the mission is personal, waking up in the middle of the night to rescue cats, heading to work in the morning, and coming back in the evening to take care of the litter.

There’s an exciting world beyond the typical Manhattan-centric image that comes to mind when we think “New York City.” Jeremy Workman’s documentary The World Before Your Feet explores the forgotten corners of the city, from areas demolished for redevelopment to diverse neighborhoods through the lens of its subject, a likable 38-year-old ex-engineer named Matt Green, who is homeless by choice. Green lives on $15 a day, crashing on couches and house sitting while working on a blog with an overwhelming goal. For the past three years, he’s walked over 6,000 miles of New York City streets, parks, and paths, creating a blog post about each block. Along the way, he stops and takes photos but there isn’t a plan to monetize the work–that isn’t who Green is.
Years ago, Green walked 31,000 miles across America, from Rockaway Beach, NY to Rockaway Beach, Oregon. His newest endeavor is smaller,...

Matt Green seems to get asked a lot what he does for work. The answer, which he repeats well over a dozen times in the new documentary “The World Before Your Feet,” is “nothing.” Not because he can’t, isn’t qualified, or is independently wealthy (though it often feels that way), but because he just doesn’t. This answer, of course, leaves people feeling incredulous. Because how else do you define Matt?...

Jesse Eisenberg will never be called an “easy interview.” For years, the actor has made the news, whether he likes it or not, for saying things in interviews that could come back to haunt him. From awkward answers to equating Comic-Con to a “genocide,” Eisenberg is no stranger to the blunt or inappropriate answer. But hey, that just makes every interview more fun, right?
Eisenberg is currently at SXSW, promoting the documentary “The World Before Your Feet” which he produced, and was asked by Variety about various topics, including his future in the DC superhero universe, the #MeToo movement, and Woody Allen.
