标题: Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk [打印本页] 作者: choi 时间: 11-23-2016 11:57 标题: Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk Brooks Barnes, 'Fantastic Beasts' Keeps the 'Potter' Train on Track. New York Times, Nov 21, 2016 (in the Arts section). http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/2 ... or-warner-bros.html
(" 'Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk' (Sony) took in a breathtakingly low $930,000 at 1,176 theaters. Directed by Ang Lee and adapted from Ben Fountain’s novel, “Billy Lynn” cost an estimated $40 million to make. Overseas ticket sales may cushion the blow for Sony and its financing partners — a bit — and Sony has been credited with trying to push technological boundaries with the film. But there is no way around it: 'Billy Lynn' is a hall-of-fame box-office misfire")
My comment: This movie review mainly talks about the new film Fantastic Beasts. But a paragraph toward the end mentioned Ang Lee's latest film. "$930,000 at 1,176 theaters." That is less than $1,000 a theater in three days (Friday to Sunday), the opening weekend.
