(" '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.
