Cannes 2018 crime-dramedy Under The Silver Lake by David Robert Mitchell came out on top among the weekend\u2019s crowded roster of specialty newcomers, which mostly had slow launches. The A24 title had a long journey to its theatrical release. The title, which stars Andrew Garfield and Riley Keough, grossed $40,157 in two locations over the Easter and Passover holiday weekend, averaging $20,079, the highest per theater average among releases as of Sunday morning.<\/p>\n
IFC Films\u2019 Red Joan was the only other limited release starter to have a per theater average with five figures. Starring Dame Judi Dench as Joan Stanley, the KGB\u2019s longest-serving British spy, the feature grossed $40,631 in four locations, averaging $10,158. The company said Sunday it is expecting to \u201csee a nice bump today from matinee audiences\u201d who are fans of Dench. Red Joan will expand to the top five markets next weekend including Chicago, San Francisco, D.C. and Boston while also adding runs in New York and L.A. areas.<\/p>\n
Sundance doc Hail Satan? had its theatrical debut on Good Friday with three runs in New York and L.A. Directed by Penny Lane and centering on the activist group The Satanic Temple, the title took in $25,700, averaging $8,567. The numbers include New York\u2019s Wednesday opening at IFC Center (L.A.\u2019s two theaters began showings on Friday). Next up for Hail Satan? are roll outs in key markets in the Bay Area, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Boston, Seattle, Portland as well as Brooklyn\u2019s BAM.<\/p>\n
The Film Arcade opened comedy Family, the debut from writer-director Laura Steinel, starring Taylor Schilling. In three AMC locations in New York and L.A., the SXSW \u201918 debut grossed $20,400 ($6,800 PTA). The company will take the title to 75 markets next weekend.<\/p>\n
Neon bowed Nia DaCosta\u2019s Western crime-drama Little Woods in 33 theaters. A debut out of last year\u2019s Tribeca Film Festival, the feature starring Lily James, Tessa Thompson, Luke Kirby and Lance Reddick took $66,415 in the weekend box office ($2,013). Neon noted Sunday that Little Woods came in at number one at the Angelika in New York. Noted exec Elissa Federoff: \u201cNia Dacosta is an exciting new filmmaker and working with partners like Refinery 29 and Planned Parenthood have helped us get the word out on this important film.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lionsgate took sci-fi drama Fast Color to 25 theaters over the holiday weekend to $37,500 ($1,500 PTA). It appears the company is giving this a short run. Producer Jordan Horowitz (who also produced Lionsgate\u2019s Oscar-winning box office hit LaLa Land) Tweeted Sunday: \u201cSome news, if you want to see Fast Color in a theater, it\u2019s looking like this weekend may be your only chance. While PR and reviews have been solid, there\u2019s simply not enough awareness.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a follow-up Tweet, Horowitz said the title will be \u201caround another few days,\u201d adding: \u201cAnd after it\u2019s gone, we\u2019ll see what we can do about getting it more widely available as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lionsgate did not immediately get back to a request for comment.<\/p>\n
Screen Media has not reported weekend numbers for Terry Gilliam\u2019s The Man Who Killed Don Quixote as of early Sunday afternoon EDT.<\/p>\n

Bleecker Street\u2019s Teen Spirit took a hit with an expansion from four to 696 theaters in its second frame, grossing $250,536 in the three-day estimate, averaging just $360.<\/p>\n
UPDATED:<\/p>\n
Initially slated for a summer slot following its debut at last year\u2019s Cannes Film Festival, A24 moved writer-director David Robert Mitchell\u2019s Under The Silver Lake to late fall and then finally gave it a spring start. Its opening weekend $40K-plus start in a crowded market gave the title some legs.<\/p>\n
Noted A24 Sunday: \u201cAudiences turned out for David Robert Mitchell\u2019s impeccably crafted neo-noir starring Andrew Garfield in a terrific lead performance.
