Synopsis

By 1970, Steve McQueen ruled Hollywood; he was at the top of his game, commanding respect from and wielding power over industry executives and A-list talent. Hot off the back of classics like “The Magnificent Seven,” “The Great Escape” and “The Thomas Crown Affair,” McQueen had established himself as Hollywood’s quintessential anti-hero, the King of Cool and the world’s most notorious ladies’ man. A racing fanatic, his already-legendary status allowed him to begin production on a passion project centered around the greatest test of driving skill in the world: Le Mans, a 24-hour car race in France. But when the shoot was plagued by financial troubles, on-set rivalries and rumors of his affairs, McQueen’s personal life began to unravel and his dream film quickly turned into a nightmare. Interweaving original insights and revelations from those closest to McQueen – including his son Chad and first wife Neile – with never-before-seen production footage and private tape recordings of the star’s candid thoughts, STEVE MCQUEEN: THE MAN & LE MANS takes the viewer inside the mind of this driven, complex movie idol as he fought to save his film.

Per Theater Chart: James Can't Take the Spotlight

November 17th, 2015

James White

There was only one new release in the $10,000 club and it had to settle for third place on the per theater chart. This left Spotlight in first place with an average of $22,561 in 60 theaters. This is a great result for a film expanding from five to 60 theaters. Brooklyn also expanded, going from five theaters to 23 theaters, while its per theater average remained strong with an average of $20,868. James White was the only new release in the $10,000 club debuting with $12,007 in its lone theater. More...

Limited and VOD Releases: Sea a Limited Release This Weekend

November 11th, 2015

Man Up

It is not a particularly strong week for limited releases, as there are none that really jump out as potential breakout successes. Man Up is earning some of the best reviews, but it is the wrong genre for limited release, as Rom Coms rarely do well enough in limited release to expand wide. (On a side note, one of the exceptions was My Big Fat Greek Wedding. The trailer for the sequel just came out. Nearly 15 years is a long time between the original and the sequel.) James White feels a lot more like a traditional limited release, one that can do really well in the art house circuit. More...
