"Sony Pictures Classics’ release of Aaron Schneider’s “Get Low” led four specialty openers this weekend, according to estimates provided by Rentrak earlier today. The film - which debuted at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival - found the best per-theater-average of any film in theaters, including Hollywood entries like “Inception” (which led the overall box office for the third weekend in a row). “Low” took in $90,954 from 4 screens, averaging a strong $22,739.
The film follows Felix Bush (Robert Duvall), a man who has lived as a hermit deep in the Tennessee woods for the past four decades. One day, he decides he wants to throw himself a “funeral party” before he actually passes and enlists the help of a local undertaker (Bill Murray). Sony Classics will expand the film in the coming weeks, in the likely hopes of it becoming a late summer indie breakout."
