Synopsis

Legendary performer Frank Sinatra had his share of tumultuous affairs, but it was his well-publicized love for MGM’s mercurial, sultry screen siren, Ava Garner in the 1950’s that had the tabloids abuzz for one of Hollywood’s most infamous affairs. While campaigning for the dream role of Columbia Pictures’ Angelo Maggio in “From Here to Eternity,” the role which he hoped would be the push to salvage his career, the destitute Sinatra finds salvation in the arms of the woman he pursues at all costs; the woman whom he would come to immensely love and ultimately lose. Marked by passion, bourbon, scandals and infidelities - Ava’s abortions and Frank’s suicide attempts were the rage of the rags as their hapless romance was parodied by the press, who play them off each other - Frank and Ava’s story is what Hollywood romance legends are made of.

Theater Averages: Mary Reigns over the Competition

December 12th, 2018

Mary Queen of Scots

Mary Queen of Scots led the way on the theater average chart with an average of $48,694 in four theaters. Unfortunately, its reviews strongly suggest it won’t have long legs in limited release. Likewise, Vox Lux got off to a fast start with an average of $25,952 in six theaters, but it is earning nearly identical reviews, so it too will likely have short legs. Up next was Ben is Back with an average of $20,183 in four theaters. The Favourite remained in the $10,000 club for the third weekend in a row with an average of $16,523 in 91 theaters. It will almost certainly expand at least semi-wide at this point, especially if it continues to pick up Awards Season nominations. More...

Synopsis

Legendary performer Frank Sinatra had his share of tumultuous affairs, but it was his well-publicized love for MGM’s mercurial, sultry screen siren, Ava Garner in the 1950’s that had the tabloids abuzz for one of Hollywood’s most infamous affairs. While campaigning for the dream role of Columbia Pictures’ Angelo Maggio in “From Here to Eternity,” the role which he hoped would be the push to salvage his career, the destitute Sinatra finds salvation in the arms of the woman he pursues at all costs; the woman whom he would come to immensely love and ultimately lose. Marked by passion, bourbon, scandals and infidelities - Ava’s abortions and Frank’s suicide attempts were the rage of the rags as their hapless romance was parodied by the press, who play them off each other - Frank and Ava’s story is what Hollywood romance legends are made of.
