space was hustling and bustling on the holiday weekend as moviegoers came out to theaters after unwrapping gifts, eating endless amounts of Christmas cookies or just wanting to take a desperate break from family fun time. A handful of limited releases performed strongly over the five-day Christmas weekend.
This is an incredible start to the Sam Mendes-directed World War I one-shot epic with panache from iconic cinematographer Roger Deakins and starring George MacKay and Dean-Charles Chapman. The film, which opens wide on January 10, was already garnering buzz from its early screenings and has been a critical success with a spot on AFI and the National Board of Review’s lists for the top films of the year.
The film, which is based on the book by real-life defense attorney Bryan Stevenson, is a narrative that is very much in the zeitgeist as the country becomes more cognizant of the need for prison reform and examination of those who have been wrongfully convicted.
With a certified fresh rating of 81% on Rotten Tomatoes and its poignant story of advocacy, the film earned Jamie Foxx a SAG Award nomination and the National Board of Review honored it with the Freedom of Expression Award. The respectable box office numbers are a solid foundation before the film opens wide on January 17, 2020.which opened on December 27 in New York at the Angelika Theater as well as The Landmark in Los Angeles.
