The Big Picture Magnolia Pictures had its widest-ever release this weekend with the comedy-drama Thelma, opening the movie in 1,290 domestic theaters to surprisingly solid results. Starring the 94-year-old Oscar nominee June Squibb in her first leading role, Thelmadebuted in the top 10 of the domestic box office chart, nearly out-performing the latest film starring Russell Crowe, The Exorcism, which grossed just $200,000 more despite playing in over 1,000 extra locations.
Written and directed by Josh Margolin, Thelma follows the titular character on her quest to retrieve the $10,000 that she was scammed out of while trying to help her grandson. The movie opened to universal acclaim, and currently stands at a near-perfect 99% approval rating on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes.
