Synopsis

Nat, a 19 year-old aspiring photographer, leaves his parents’ Austin, TX nest, bids goodbye to his recent ex-girlfriend, and heads out onto the open highway heading towards Los Angeles. When his car breaks down, he meets, Richard, a drifter with mechanic skills who offers to fix his old minivan in exchange for a ride to a nearby bus station. Thus begins the road trip of a lifetime—a bar fight in Marfa, TX with cowboys, a visit to Richard’s now grown teenage love and her bratty daughter that doesn’t go well, a drunken night with two sisters: Rebecca and Nina, and of course, as with any road trip, Nat and Richard get even with the guy who leaves them stranded with no car, money, or cell phone in the woods—all before Nat must start classes and move into his dorm.

Home Market Releases for February 5th, 2019

February 5th, 2019

Widows

We are finally getting to the massive fall hits on the home market, as Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch hits the home market this week. It is the biggest release, but not the best. The Pick of the Week was a coin toss between Maquia: When The Promised Flower Blooms and Widows. In the end, the latter won, but both are worth buying. More...

Theater Averages: Chef is in Like Flynn

November 14th, 2018

Chef Flynn

Chef Flynn debuted on top spot on the theater average chart with $29,869 in one theater. The overall box office chart leader, Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch, was next with an average of $16,318. The Front Runner followed with an average of $12,886 over the weekend. The film opened on Tuesday, which obviously had some negative effect of its weekend number, but even the full six-day result of $71,742 / $17,936 average isn’t enough to warrant a full wide expansion. El Angel was the final film in the $10,000 club with an average of $11,674 in two theaters. More...
