$77,000 playing in only 12 select theaters this weekend.
Bravo to Little Ashes, Rob and to the wonderful fans out there who continue to support the film.
"Salvador Dali biopic Little Ashes (Regent Releasing), starring Twilight's Robert Pattinson, took in $77 thousand in 12 theaters in select cities."
Does it mean it did well? I have no idea but I do hope so!
ReplyDeleteGo LA!!
Great movie and so much better the second time, caught much more of the nuances of certain scenes :)
ReplyDeleteIt's only playing for a week in Chicago. Have to get it while the getting's good. Saw it Friday & going again with a different group on Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I hear for an Independant film releasing over the weekend this is pretty damn good. And in only 12 theaters...thats like over 6 grand per theater. And now Little Ashes is playing in a bunch of theaters thanks to the wonderful fans bustin their asses calling so lets see those numbers roll in and not let the hard work go to waste.
ReplyDeletei'm so happy for rob & to all those involved in LA !!
ReplyDeleteand thanks so much to gozde and dani for your tireless support of this wonderful film :)
Yay that's great news. They must be over the moon! Big congrats to all involved in the movie.
ReplyDeleteI'm bummed this movie doesn't come to michigan until June 26th and it's only staying for a week :(
ReplyDeleteGreat news for a great movie.
ReplyDeleteIts well deserved.
Im going to send this info on to the cinemas in Dublin and hopefully that will coax them in to at least giving me a response!
This is pretty exceptional news!
ReplyDeleteConsidering the very very very limited release of this small indie.. this is awesome!
Well Done Goz, Dani for the movement and for every one of us who made a call or 100. xxx
P.S.
ReplyDeleteHannah.. mmmmwah.. morning girl.
Morning Suz luv ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree.. Kudos to Goz, Dani and all the Robsessors who have done there part in making the opening weekend a success for LA. Love all you ladies :)
Hannah, good idea. I emailed the Mermaid in Bray to see if they might be interested in it for their cinema club. I didn't even get a response one way or the other.
ReplyDeleteSiobhan, Im going to send an email to the IFI and The Screen because Lighthouse are ignoring me now :(
ReplyDeleteThese two are good for Independent movies too.
IFI - info@irishfilm.ie
The Screen - http://www.omniplex.ie/contactus.htm
Gimme the email for the Mermaid in Bray and Ill get on em! Someone in Dublin HAS to pick up this movie!! GAH!
This is exciting news..Very glad to hear it had good opening weekend. Theatre here in Indianapolis said their showing it will depend on opening weekend so keeping fingers crossed!!
ReplyDeleteSome friends and I are driving to Chicago Thursday to meet a friend who lives there and we are going Thursday night..Can't wait. We are so EXCITED!!!!
It must be a glass half-empty, half-full thing. Last night I looked up weekend box offices, and LA was said have been a "disappointment with less than $7000 per theater." I prefer the attitude here. Does mean we've got to keep pushing. It's only scheduled for a week in most venues, which make Thursday the last day to see it. I'll be going again. Robador rules!
ReplyDeleteWOW.. this is great news considering how limited it was... Glad I was able to add to it... Robdali was no limits...no limits.....
ReplyDeleteDiane~ I wonder if they take into consideration this is a limited release indie, with virtually no advertisement. I guess I'll see, if my local arthouse theatre shows it or not. They were waiting for box office results.
ReplyDeleteThanks for finding this info for us, Goz and Dani~ :)
Good morning ladies!!
Dani , Goz -
ReplyDeleteRob arriving in Vancouver
http://www.celebrity-gossip.net/celebrities/hollywood/robert-pattinson-back-in-vancouver-213314/
I'm proud of Little Ashes! It's a wonderful movie. I really want to see it again!
ReplyDeletecrazy!! Been dying to ask you... how was LA?!!!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, Crazy, it sounds like they were taking that into account. They said that both LA and another film I hadn't heard of "disappointed" in the art house sector. Well, the theater I was in wasn't much bigger than a phone booth (remember those?), so it would be hard to get $7000 out of three days there. Still, it is truly a very good movie and anyone who can should see it.

ReplyDeleteRob really is a busy bee:
ReplyDeletehttp://socialitelife.celebuzz.com/archive/2009/05/11/robert_pattinson_catches_flight_at_lax_meets_with_director_peter_berg.php
How many more movies does he have in the pipeline???
hmm link is too long and was cut off, sorry - apparently Rob met yesterday with Peter Berg (Hancock director).
ReplyDeleteHi Yvonne! I haven't talked with you in awhile :(
ReplyDeletei really enjoyed it. Rob was great - i was impressed by his performance, especially considering he has so few movies under his belt. (oops, mind now wandering...) Anyway, the intimate scenes were tender, sexy....as we know. And I loved him in the funny parts.
I was telling Suz and Kelly that i was still drawn in to his beautiful face throughout the film. Wondered if it swayed my opinion. i can't help it. :)
Diane~ well i guess i'm not too upset. But i bet Goz' movement made a difference any how. This is very early in one's career. No matter.
ReplyDeleteLittle Bear ` it's so exciting to think how many more opps we'll have to see Rob on the big screen!!! yahoo!
ReplyDeletecrazy, I've heard people say that you forget it's actually Rob and really look at him as Dali....I am going on the 29th, I am really looking forward to it. I heard back from my local "arthouse" and they are going to show it! "score"!
ReplyDeleteNo matter the amount of money this film makes, I am positive that it has been seen by more people b/c of this site and Goz-n- Dani's hard work :)
ReplyDeleteYvonne~ yeah!! (your local theatre)
ReplyDeleteHonestly, i never forgot it was Rob. No discredit to his performance; I'm just madly in love!
crazy....I've missed you,too :(
ReplyDeleteBeen so busy, I had family visiting for a few days...
Crazy - I know !! Esp. now he's made it big time, there will be no more need for 'Little Ashes movements'... we'll just go to our local theatres, sit back and enjoy :) The future is bright!!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder the weather has improved. We had rain and crap the whole time he was away and now the sun is back shining all over Canada.
ReplyDeleteThe power of Rob
Morning lovelies
crazy...lol, yeah, I can understand that! It's impossible NOT to love him :) And I think it's getting worse for me.
ReplyDeleteI have to say though, even though I am gald to see all of his recent pics, he looks a little weary, and thin, and I really really hope that he takes it easy. And I hope he's not lonely...I'm a little worried....I know that sounds nuts :)
Yvonne - Did you get the translation to your tat artist?
ReplyDelete'moring Tina, glad to hear the weather has improved up North for you :) Must be that ray of sunshine that just flew in :)
ReplyDeleteT- not yet, she isn't working until Wednesday night...She's going to be surprised I got it so quickly :)
ReplyDeleteT- did you say your dd was a swimmer?
ReplyDeleteY - Yes, she just got back from winning Provcinial Team Championships!!!!
ReplyDeleteYay Team!!!!!
Wow, good for her!!
ReplyDeleteI thought I heard you mention getting up early for a meet....both of my kids swim...They haven't been in the water for a couple of months, we had a coach quit :(
Hey Tina!!!
ReplyDeleteYvonne~ I'm not worried though. Flying back and forth every weekend must be tiring, but he seems to be having a ball with the cast and other friends every chance he gets. I remember being 22; i required very little sleep and ran around like crazy. hmmm, that was telling... ;)
Little bear ~ wanna see Nm together? wait, are you in the UK?
I saw it in San Francisco, about 2 hours from where I live. I loved it. I wish I could go see it again but it's not in the cards to do that trip a second time.
ReplyDeleteIt was truly a great movie.
(cheering for Tina's DD!!!)
ReplyDeletethe Greeks are taking over!!! hee hee ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah, the clobbered the competition who actually have an Olympic swimmer on their team.
ReplyDeleteimpressive!
ReplyDeleteT- woo hoo! Do you have all indoor pools? I would imagine since it's so cold there...
ReplyDeleteHey Greek Wife
ReplyDeletegw, I can sympathize, I have to drive a couple hours away too. But it'll be worth it :)
ReplyDeleteShe swims indoors Sept - end of June 6 days/week. Then summer is outdoors. It gets really hot here in the summer,
ReplyDelete6 days a week! You're one busy swim-mom :)
ReplyDeleteWell, I need to go do something productive...something domestic, I should say! Have a great day :)
OK - I just saw the Vancouver arrival pics...the lovely close-up with his furrowed brow...does the man never get oily while travelling...sheesh - how can he always look so good?
ReplyDeletefor comparison: Little Ashes made about as much per theatre as Wolverine this weekend. Granted, Wolverine had a disappointing second weekend, but still, that seems pretty good to me.
ReplyDeleteBut who cares about numbers... I saw the new Vancouver pics too! And Rob is lookin' gooood!
I read that the theaters were not always packed in some fan's reviews... I know that the early afternoon shows might not be the best selling ones though.
ReplyDeleteThen again, as long as the movie does OK in the long run, I think it's good. It was never meant to be a blockbuster... the R rating certainly doesn't help LOL. As someone pointed out, it also depends of the size of the room where it's shown.
I went to see the last "still walking" show, and it was almost full, but the room was very small, I wonder if there were more than 50 seats (well, maybe more like 70, but I mean it saw very small).
I am a bit saddened by the bad professional reviews. But as long as some people enjoy it for what it is, let's not be overdramatic.
Hi LittleBear!
ReplyDeleteI don't think that I stated how much this picture made my day:
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sASGYLkBNCU/SgeoYayYNLI/AAAAAAAAEMM/JSU9Dh1p17Q/s1600-h/rpattinson051009_29.jpg
(the one where he puts his hood on...)
slender/thin is really hot! It's particualry funny since I don't believe that he's even trying to look hot.
I would email the theatre here again but since there isn't yet a distributor for this movie here in Norway yet it is pointless cos I'd get the same response "no distributor for the movie here yet". So if there is nothing till the end of June here I will email them again asking about it. The guy who replied to my email said that sometime during the summer maybe. So it could be anytime from june till August. No idea if the UK DVD release will have any effect of any chance of this being shown in theaters though.
ReplyDeletelol Anna, that IS an extremely enjoyable picture for sure :)))
ReplyDeletenow to make it a fair exchange, here's the picture that made my day:
http://www.laineygossip.com/pics/pattinson-yvr-2-11may09.jpg
Sleepy Rob is just too cute!!!
Though not a deffinate, Breaking Dawn has been upgraded from "purchased"to "script".
ReplyDeleteSo I have high hopes it will be confirmed soon that will be on Rob's agenda starting late next spring.
Still looking forward to all his other movies to.
Have to wait until June for LA here in Colorado.
yay, so cool! bad that I wouldn't be able to see it soon... Nice pic of Rob: http://www.spunk-ransom.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/sl21k4.jpg ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff - congrats!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not so enthused... to be honest I'd rather see Rob play a badass villain than Edward in BD. Ed doesn't really do much for me in that book. (Plus he has to deal with having the most ridiculously named offspring in the history of literature, but that's another story)
ReplyDeleteI feel like such a proud mother.
ReplyDeleteAnd I feel like Rob should thank Robsessed by- I don't know, making house calls to every frequent commenter?
I think so.
http://robertpattinsonunlimited.com/breaking-dawn-goes-to-script/ sorry i had to post it i just read they are making the breaking dawn movie
ReplyDeletede, thnx for posting that.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised, but it's nice to see it confirmed. Now all we can hope for is that they don't fu** it up :)
Well, good for the SM fans who also like Breaking Dawn. I have to say that this book is a bad conclusion for me, but maybe they can make it better as a movie? I mean, they know that it is even criticized by parts of SM fans.
ReplyDeleteLittleBear: OMG, I so agree with you... how could she think that readers would rejoice with this name choice? (and with the entire baby thing in general maybe LOL) and I agree, Edwards almost becomes a background character, completely passive.
Let's just stop here...
There is room for improvement from book to movie, but I would rather he does projects like Bel ami for intance...
It's like Christmas today. There's so much Rob news.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.sassyqarla.com/2009/05/robert-pattinson-from-vampire-to-alien.html
Not sure how much truth is in this. I did love Hancock.
Thanks Gozde and Dani for all the yummy pictures. I hope Rob figures out a new incognito look when he films in NY this summer. He would stick out like a sore thumb here. lol.
BTW, hi everyone.
anna, I agree, I would much rather see him in Bel Ami. Especially if they throw in alot of Jacob in BD. He is going to be so busy in the next 2 years. So happy for him and for us.
ReplyDeleteA/LA, the pics in that link just slayed me dead again. I am died. Apparently I have more lives than a cat.
ReplyDeleteHow can someone so tired and irritated still look so lovely?
Wait, it was Little Bear's link. And now I see I'm way behind and have more links to check out.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think the internet just fuels our insanity to a ridiculous degree...and yet...I can't seem to stop!
Leann, I agree, the internet just keeps sucking us in. How is it that we all know exactly where he was this whole weekend. Poor Rob, I feel kind of guilty drooling over all these pics of him. Hope he's getting some rest before he heads to Cannes.
ReplyDeletePossible remake of "Dune"? That could be crazy cool. I wonder if Berg is thinking of Rob for Kyle MacLachlan. I would totally go see that!
ReplyDeleteI mean Kyle MacLachlan's original part.
ReplyDeleteOMG (first time used it!) I almost choked on the news of remaking Frank Herbert's Dune ! I do love the first of the books and I loved movie by David Lynch ! I bet Rob would be Prince Paul Atreides - and he fits perfectly to my expectations.
ReplyDeleteI'm grinning ...
OT but..KK your avi...ah Aragorn *swoons*
ReplyDeleteWinWin, interesting development! The original "Dune" bored the hell out of me, but it did feature Sting in a codpiece, so it did have its merits. Wonder if Rob would be playing the Kyle McLachlan role?
ReplyDeleteKK, get out of my head! lol
ReplyDeleteWinWin, it is creepy that we all know exactly what Rob did all weekend long. (Well, not ALL weekend, but a good chunk of it.) It's just not normal.
ReplyDeleteNeither is my new avatar, but how could I resist? Surely someone else is already using this, but what the hell.
oops! helps if you actually save your blog account changes....
ReplyDeleteMaryann - Yup. Changed it up for some Aragorn lovers on Robsessed last night!
ReplyDeleteLeann... KK... ladies how does he make traveling seem so easy... I want to be his.... well there are soooooo many things I want to be...
ReplyDeleteAfternoon gals...
Leann ~ you stole my next avatar... great minds...
ReplyDeleteKK ah..I missed out on the Aragorn Love...bummer.
ReplyDeleteTenneil - Hey lady!!
ReplyDeleteMaryann - Oh we had much love for Aragorn, 80s movies, tattoos, birthdays and pics of ourselves last night. Too fun.
Hello....KK.... 80's love,tats, and birthday love...dude I so missed out... Seeing LA took it all out of me...went to be early..bummer
ReplyDeleteTook so long to catch up with last night's conversation here and now I have to get ready to go out...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I think these are great $$$figures. I'm hoping that my local 30-screen AMC will pick up "Little Ashes." I've seen some very obscure indies there. We did our part seeing it Saturday morning in Pasadena...
Well KK, I'm just throwing this out there...does the name "Becvar" mean anything to you? Just checking.
hey chicago....howyoudoing???
ReplyDeleteLeann, your avatar is killing me. That's my favorite shot of the day. Yummy!
ReplyDeletehey winwin...long time no talk...:)
ReplyDeleteChicago - Besides the fact that I know it's a Czech name....ummm....no. Wait...I have some recollection of something from my East European history classes in college...was he some kind of scientist??
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteThis is why Timezones sucks..I am sleeping when you're all having a party...dammit I miss out on all the fun lol.
ReplyDeleteMaryann - Yeah that stinks!! And some people on Robsessed now know what I look like. Don't know if that's a positive for them or a negative!!! :D
ReplyDeleteHey, Tenneil, what's shaking? Not in the mood to work today. I must have watched RomeRob Personal Jesus about 3 times today. It's like a drug.
ReplyDeleteW~ romerob and closerrob...they are all drugs... even the pix of rob are like a drug... hes a massive vortex...
ReplyDeleteI just saw Little Ashes this afternoon in London. I really enjoyed it, and was very impressed with Rob's performance. He is obviously not just a tween dream and has a lot to offer as an actor.
ReplyDeleteHow To Be on Friday!!
Ten, what's closerrob? is that sexdrive rob?
ReplyDeleteForgot to say I overheard the cinema ushers discussing Little Ashes, saying how it had been moved into a larger screen due to popular demand. They were talking about the evening screenings though as the matinee I attended had plenty of empty seats.
ReplyDeleteWinwin... you need a email address on your profile account...I will share... but too early for nawty songs...LOL
ReplyDeletedo you know Closer..by NIN??

According to:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.the-numbers.com/charts/thisweek.php
Little Ashes is listed as Top 3 in the per theater earnings. Only Star Trek and X-men ranked higher!
