Indiefilmerna "Faces of Death", "Exit 8" och "A Great Awakening" tar plats på topp 10-listan

Tre oberoende filmer—IFC:s "Faces of Death", Neon:s "Exit 8" och Roadside Attractions "A Great Awakening"—säkrade platserna 6, 7 och 8 på helgens topp 10-lista över biointäkter. "Faces of Death" drog in 1,7 miljoner dollar på 1 600 biodukar, medan "Exit 8" spelade in 1,4 miljoner dollar på 495 biodukar. "A Great Awakening" adderade 1,27 miljoner dollar under sin andra vecka, vilket ger en totalsumma på 4,9 miljoner dollar.

Faces of Death, i regi av Daniel Goldhaber, är en nyversion av den kontroversiella kultskräckfilmen från 1978. Filmen har Barbie Ferreira i huvudrollen som en innehållsmoderator som upptäcker uppenbara återskapanden av mord från originalet på en plattform som liknar TikTok. Stark viral marknadsföring och goda rekommendationer drev fram en debut på 1,7 miljoner dollar på 1 600 biodukar, enligt Deadline Hollywood. Båda nyheterna innebar en positiv helg för nischad film trots deras kontrasterande genrer och ursprung.
