Todd Solondz's "Palindromes" get disappointed $59,000 b.o. from seven engagements. Since it opened on Wednesday in two theaters , pic has taken in $72,234. Because of mixed reviews, it will be lucky to gross more than $400,000.
Ah, he's always not seen big box office success though, and his true legs are in rental. Tough to see it open to 72,234 in two theatres but then plumet to 59,000 in seven. Its about a 13 year old that wants to have many kids though, so I never anticipated it being huge breakthrough. It was recevied mized reviews too.

Although disappointment is Fine Line's "The Year of the Yao" which grosses $26,000 from 12 Houston theaters.

"Kung Fu Hustle" has legs! In its second week, pic collected $264,043 from 7 theaters, down just 10% from its opening, and averaged $37,720 per screen. On 4/22, it will expand to 2,000+ theaters.

Samuel Goldwyn/Roadside Attractions' "Walk on Water" crossed the $1 million mark in its seventh weekend with $128,250 from 45 screens, for an average of $2,850. Cume is $1,044,832. This movie can gross more than $1 million is a very big surprise for me, because of the mixed reviews it receives.
Never underestimate the pull of American Israeli's
, they'll see anything about the homeland. Hell I've even done it. I started a thread on this here and still want to see this movie. Looks interesting at least. Its somehow slipped out of my grasp. If its still in theatres I''ll need to wait until the first week of may to see it. DOn't get me wrong. Israeli's may not like it, and won't blindly accept it as good, but they will run to hear a movie in Hebrew and only critique it after. At least here in New York, I don't know about everywhere else.
