Both Priscilla and The Holdovers managed to deliver strong box office debuts despite competition from larger franchise titles.
The Big Picture While the domestic box office was witnessing the utter domination of Universal’s Five Nights at Freddy’s, a couple of awards season hopefuls helmed by acclaimed directors debuted in limited release and posted strong per-screen averages. Alexander Payne’s The Holdovers and Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla opened in less than 10 locations each, and grossed a combined total of nearly $350,000 across the weekend.
Both movies are being positioned as awards contenders, and premiered at prestigious international festivals. The Holdovers debuted at this year’s Telluride Film Festival in August, and currently sits at a “certified fresh” rating of 96% on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. Collider’s Ross Bonaime called it one of Payne’s best films. Priscilla, on the other hand, premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September, and is being distributed domestically by indie outfit A24.
The domestic box office this weekend was topped by the horror video game adaptation Five Nights at Freddy’s, which grossed a stupendous $78 million despite poor reviews. The top five also featured holdovers, no pun intended, such as Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour concert film, Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, and the horror reboot The Exorcist: Believer. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
