The Northeast and Canada saw most of the business with nine of the top ten runs. Decent runs we here in Dallas, Atlanta, Houston, Phoenix, Charlotte, Nashville, Kansas City, San Antonio for a $855K Friday and an estimated 3-day of $2.2M.

September 2022 is notably quiet in terms of event titles in a setback for the summer box office recovery. The majority of the audience is between the ages of 18 and 34. Variance is launching Medieval, a 2022 English-language Czech historical drama directed by Petr Jákl in 1,311 runs.

The dearth of studio tentpoles is due to supply-chain issues resulting from the pandemic. Either way, it will win an otherwise quiet weekend. Critics like it much better, with Barbarian currently resting at a 93 percent critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Sorry to say it, but Tess is a perfect victim, but she’s also street smart, and her ability to read others is her most effective power until, like most horror films, things go out of control. He continues to explore how perspective impacts the journey but implements a comedic element to Barbarian that runs through the remainder of the runtime. He makes sure to implement a story transition that flips the script on everything it built, and once you think you know what’s gonna happen, you figure that you don’t know anything. there’s something about sitting in a theater to see a movie like this.
