When you look at the names of the movies, t makes sense indeed

Lionsgate’s “White Bird,” a sequel to the inspirational film “Wonder” that hit $315 million worldwide for Lionsgate in 2017, opened last weekend in 1,018 theaters and grossed just $1.58 million. By comparison, “Sam and Colby: The Legends of the Paranormal,” an indie film from a pair of ghost hunter YouTubers, outperformed “White Bird” last weekend with $1.77 million from only 300 Cinemark locations.

Maybe if they stop puking the same old garbage on us, we'd want to go to the movies more.

I also regularly visit my local community theatre where they play old gems and its always super busy. People are happy to pay for a nice night at the movies. You just need to provide good content.

The same indie film that topped the US box office last weekend, Terrifier 3.
