‘Grandma’ Has One of The Year’s Best Limited Debuts at the Box Office

'Grandma' Has One of The Year's Best Limited Debuts at the Box Office

Aug 25, 2015 9:19 am

The road to what we hope will be Lily Tomlin’s first Oscar nomination since 1975 got a boost this weekend as her “Grandma” opened in 4 theaters and grossed a very strong $115,540 for a $28,885 average.

It’s a very good number — but the next few weekends will be the true test of whether the Sony Pictures Classics release can be a true indie breakout, which is the kind of thing that’s necessary for a film this small to compete against the heavy hitters come Oscar time. It was also a bit risky to avoid the fall festival circuit and put “Grandma” out now during the not-so-friendly (at least in terms of awards season) month of August. So far, so good — but make sure you go see “Grandma” when it comes to your city in the coming weeks. 

Here’s a chart of the film’s upcoming releases. It’s currently only screening in New York and Los Angeles.
