‘Stillwater’ Runs Deep: Matt Damon-Starring Indie Hits $10 Million, Holds No. 5 Slot In North America – Specialty Box Office

deadline.com:

It was a triumphant second weekend for indie Stillwater from Focus Features, which hit the $10 million mark in 2,611 theatres (up by 80) and 233 DMA’s in North America, where it was no.

5. The Matt Damon-starrer held up strongly from its debut, dipping 45% — compared with a 64% drop for The Green Knight and a 55% decline for Jungle Cruise.

Stillwater’s run may not be not specialty-small, but deserves a shout-out here for a standout performance. The complex drama garnered Damon a standing ovation in Cannes but had some concerned at the film’s theatrical prospects in a wide-release battle against big studio franchises on one hand and smaller arthouse fare on the other.Damon plays an unemployed Oklahoma oil rig worker who travels to Marseille
