It not a blockbuster MLK weekend but indies are out in force with The Brutalist continuing to surprise, The Substance adding theaters and Nosferatu, A Complete Unknown and Babygirl holding at nos.

7, 8 and 10 at the domestic box office. Robert Eggers’ vampire fest from Focus Features had a $4.3 million weekend with a cume of $89.4 million for Nosferatu; Searchlight Pictures Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown starring Timothee Chalamet is at $57.6 million after a $3.8 million weekend; and A24’s psycho-sexual Nicole Kidman-starrer Babygirl is estimating $2 million and a $25.4 million cume.

All cumes are for the three-day weekend. Monday is the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday. Meanwhile, Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist, also from A24, grossed $1.98 million for the three-day weekend and $2.4 million for the four-day MLK holiday frame in a big expansion to 338 screens – up from $1.39 million on 68 screens last weekend.

It’s seeing strong exits and sold-out shows, especially 70mm and Imax, which generated $460k of Imax box office. It now has an Imax cume of $770k out of a $5.86 million total.
