Smaller Films Hit April Doldrums – Specialty Box Office
It a meh weekend at the indie box office amid more wide releases. 'Stress Positions' had a fine opening on one screen. 'Sasquatch Sunset' expanded.
This weekend was the first in some time without a specialty film in the top ten as wide releases ramp up from Civil War to Abigail and hang in theaters as per Kung Fu Panda 4 and Dune: Part Two — in weeks 7 and 8, respectively. The film by Theda Hammel stars Qaher Harhash as a queer Moroccan-American model sidelined by a broken leg and recovering at his uncle’s apartment in Brooklyn who becomes the focal point of a cast of eccentric characters. Generally speaking, some indie films have been expanding faster than they might have as the network of great art houses in the top 25 markets still hasn’t recovered from a Covid hit, making a slow rollout more complicated.
