Synopsis

Not everything is as it seems for Cristi, a police inspector in Bucharest who plays both sides of the law. Embarking with the beautiful Gilda on a high-stakes heist, both will have to navigate the twists and turns of corruption, treachery and deception. A trip to the Canary Islands to learn a secret whistling language might just be what they need to pull it off.

VOD Releases: Are Audiences Feeling Friendly?

July 22nd, 2020

Fisherman’s Friends

Most of the major new releases on VOD are earning positive reviews this week. Of these, The Whistlers is the critical darling, but Fisherman’s Friends could find a larger audience. There’s also some strength in depth among the independent films and shows coming to a platform near you. More...

New on Disc: Scoob! Steals the Spotlight

July 21st, 2020

Marriage Story

It is a rather slow on the home market, even compared to what we’ve seen recently. However, there are at least a couple of releases that should do well on the sales chart. Scoob! should easily sell the most units of any release on this week’s list, but Northern Exposure: The Complete Series is getting the jump on next week’s massive flood of TV on DVD releases and that’s clearly helping its sales numbers. That said, neither of these are contenders for Pick of the Week; in fact, there is really only one contender for that title, Marriage Story, which is getting a Criterion Collection release this week. More...

Theater Averages: Frances has a Saintly Start

March 6th, 2020

Saint Frances

Saint Frances was the only new release to land in the $10,000 club opening with $14,298 in one theater. The re-release of Come and See continued to do well earning $12,859, also in one theater. Emma expanded into nearly 100 theaters earning an average of $11,955 along the way. More...

Limited and VOD Releases: Hero or Zero?

February 28th, 2020

My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising

My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising is easily the biggest limited release on this week’s chart. Also, its reviews are really good. Hopefully it won’t be the only box office hit on this week’s list, but I fear it could be. There are several films like Blood On Her Name, Saint Frances, and more with impressive Tomatometer Scores, but less impressive average ratings, so maybe they are better fits for the home market.
