Cannes Palm d’Or winner Anora went wide and A Real Pain added theaters in limited release, both nicely, with Crunchyroll’s Japanese epic fantasy OVERLORD: The Sacred Kingdom and Small Things Like These at the specialty box office.
Sean Baker’s breakout Anora is looking at $2.55 million on 1,104 screens in week four of Neon’s slow rollout for a tidy cume of $7.2 million. A Real Pain from Searchlight Pictures with Jesse Eisenberg (who also directed and wrote) and Kieran Culkin will gross an estimated $282k at an additional eight locations for 12 theaters in week 2.
That’s a cume through Sunday of $600k heading into a major expansion on 900+ screens next week. Overlord by Naoyuki Ito is projecting $1.165 million on under 650 screens for the latest in the anime series based on the manga by Kugane Maruyama, produced by Kadokawa and animated by Madhouse.
The first season debuted in 2017. Currently, all four seasons are now streaming on Crunchyroll along with OVERLORD: The Undead King and OVERLORD: The Dark Hero, two omnibus films that serve as recaps for season one.
