The Enduring Allure Of ‘Coraline’ At The Specialty Box Office
Coraline continues to lure audiences to the indie box office, with nice openings this weekend for family film 'My Penguin Friend' and Hindi horror 'Shree 2'.
But when this wondrously off-kilter, fantastical adventure turns dangerous and her counterfeit parents, including Other Mother (Teri Hatcher) try to keep her forever, Coraline must count on her resourcefulness, determination, and bravery to get back home. The inspirational family film hails from Brazil and Argentina where a Magellanic penguin (given the name Dindim) spent months with the fisherman, swam away, but then returned annually for eight years. Led by Nick Jonas alongside Elisabeth Shue, David Arquette, Brittany Snow, Alexandra Shipp and more, the independent dramedy took in an estimated $38K over the weekend, propelled by a star-studded event screening in LA at the Saban theater earlier this week and has grossed $146K to date in theaters (factoring in nationwide sneak previews July 23 and 25 in partnership with Fathom Events which was paired with an exclusive virtual Q&A featuring Schwartzman and Jonas).
