It was a remarkably slow three-day stretch at the specialty box office with the Glenn Close and Mila Kunis-starring drama being the only film to break the $200K mark.<\/p>\n<p>Though Four Good Days grossed almost $100K less than its opening weekend, the Rodrigo Garc\u00eda-directed movie hauled over $618K in the last 2 weeks and expanded to 489 theaters. The per screen average dropped to $444 after opening to $1,017 per screen last week.<\/p>\n<p>David Oyelowo made his directorial debut this week with The Water Man, distributed by RLJE Films. The sci-fi adventure tale, which premiered at last year\u2019s Toronto Film Festival, is about a boy on a quest to save his mother\u2019s life by finding a mythical creature who has the ability to cheat death. Oyelowo also stars alongside Rosario Dawson and Lonnie Chavis.<\/p>\n<p>The Water Man opened to decent reception with an 80% RT score and a 68 on Metacritic. It performed moderately grossing approximately $183K during a slow weekend. The sci-fi flick also had this week\u2019s highest per screen average of $588, the highest among any movie showing at over 100 screens.<\/p>\n<p>Among the Academy Award holdovers, Best Actor winner The Father notably broke the $2M cume mark this weekend grossing a few dollars shy of $61K. A24\u2019s Minari is in the same boat as it also pulled in $60K. The six Oscar-nominated film needs one more weekend to cross the $3M mark.<\/p>\n<p>Best Picture winner Nomadland has broken the $3M cume. Searchlight is still not reporting estimates, but, per industry estimates, the Chlo\u00e9 Zhao-directed film might cross $3.3M soon. Nomadland is the lowest-grossing Oscar Best Picture winner at the box office besting 2009 Best Picture winner The Hurt Locker.<\/p>\n<p>View this article at <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2021\/05\/four-good-days-tops-specialty-box-office-slow-mothers-day-david-oyelowo-sci-fi-the-water-man-debuts-1234752589\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Deadline<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Four Good Days\u2019 Tops Specialty Box Office On Slow Mother\u2019s Day Weekend; David Oyelowo\u2019s \u2018The Water Man\u2019 Posts Modest Debut: Vertical Entertainment\u2019s Four Good Days claimed the highest total over Mother\u2019s Day weekend.
