Indie-Filme 'Faces of Death', 'Exit 8' und 'A Great Awakening' in den Top 10

Drei unabhängige Filme – 'Faces of Death' von IFC, 'Exit 8' von Neon und 'A Great Awakening' von Roadside Attractions – sicherten sich an diesem Wochenende die Plätze 6, 7 und 8 in den Top 10 der Kinocharts. 'Faces of Death' spielte 1,7 Millionen US-Dollar in 1.600 Kinos ein, während 'Exit 8' 1,4 Millionen US-Dollar in 495 Kinos einnahm. 'A Great Awakening' kam in seiner zweiten Woche auf weitere 1,27 Millionen US-Dollar, was einem Gesamtergebnis von 4,9 Millionen US-Dollar entspricht.

Faces of Death, unter der Regie von Daniel Goldhaber, ist eine Neuinterpretation des kontroversen Kult-Horrorfilms aus dem Jahr 1978. In dem Film spielt Barbie Ferreira eine Content-Moderatorin, die auf einer TikTok-ähnlichen Plattform auf scheinbare Nachstellungen von Morden aus dem Original stößt. Ein starkes virales Marketing und Mundpropaganda führten laut Deadline Hollywood zu einem Debüt von 1,7 Millionen US-Dollar in 1.600 Kinos. Beide Neuerscheinungen sorgten trotz ihrer gegensätzlichen Genres und Ursprünge für ein erfreuliches Wochenende für das Programm- und Spezialkino.
