Winter’s Bone Stands Out On The Indie Circuit

From Variety and their story Distrib Uncertainty Colors Fall Film Festivals:

The good news is that, even with all companies exiting indie distribution over the past several years, the parties still in business continue to need fresh fare. Many of the films premiering at Venice, Telluride and Toronto already have distribution, but a few titles are still available. Several festival acquisitions were strong performers this year, led by “The Kids Are All Right,” which Focus Features acquired in January at Sundance. Film has scored more than $17 million domestically.

“Winter’s Bone,” acquired by Roadside Attractions at Sundance, has accumulated nearly $4.9 million, a strong gross for an arthouse drama.

IFC Films’ docu “Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work,” also acquired at Sundance, has $2.8 million.

The Kids Are Alright is scheduled to open at Moxie Cinema on August 27th while it appears that Winter’s Bone is headed to downtown Springfield in September after a strong run at Wehrenberg’s Campbell 16, premiering here on June 18th.
