Tres películas independientes —'Faces of Death' de IFC, 'Exit 8' de Neon y 'A Great Awakening' de Roadside Attractions— aseguraron los puestos 6, 7 y 8 en el top 10 de la taquilla este fin de semana. 'Faces of Death' recaudó 1,7 millones de dólares en 1.600 pantallas, mientras que 'Exit 8' ingresó 1,4 millones de dólares en 495 pantallas. 'A Great Awakening' añadió 1,27 millones de dólares en su segunda semana, alcanzando un total acumulado de 4,9 millones de dólares.

Faces of Death, dirigida por Daniel Goldhaber, reimagina el controvertido clásico de terror de culto de 1978. La película está protagonizada por Barbie Ferreira en el papel de una moderadora de contenido que descubre lo que parecen ser recreaciones de asesinatos de la cinta original en una plataforma similar a TikTok. Según reportó Deadline Hollywood, una fuerte campaña de marketing viral y el boca a boca impulsaron su debut con 1,7 millones de dólares en 1.600 pantallas. Ambos estrenos marcaron un fin de semana positivo para el cine independiente a pesar de sus géneros y orígenes contrastantes.
