This Low-Budget Movie That Took Over A Decade To Make Crushed It At The Box Office
The IFC film, which cost $2.4 million and took director Richard Linklater 12 years to make, made $359,000 upon debut.
While that may not sound like a lot, the movie only played in five movie theaters over the weekend in both New York City and Los Angeles putting its intake per theater at $71,800.
In comparison, "Snowpiercer," another indie film we recently wrote about, performed opening weekend. That film debuted in eight theaters earning $171,187 or approximately $21,398 per theater.
The only other indie film to have a better opening weekend this year was Wes Andersen's brilliant "The Grand Budapest Hotel." That movie, starring Ralph Fiennes, took in a massive $811,166 opening weekend from four theaters. That's an average of $202,792 per screen.
"Boyhood" will expand into more theaters over the next few weeks.
