    Arthouse Audit: 'Stories We Tell' Shows Initial Strength, Sole Successful Opening

    by Tom Brueggemann on May 12, 2013

    So far the 2013 indie box office is running far behind last year--nothing comes close to 2012's booming "Best Exotic Marigold" or "Bernie," which were both standout performers far above this weekend's group of small-grossing releases, typical for this time of year.
