With summer tentpoles in full thrust, specialty distributors are maintaining their seasonal role offering up alternative programming for moviegoers not dazzled by the latest studio blitz.
The final full weekend of June included at least a half dozen new limited titles, headlined by Sundance’s The King by Eugene Jarecki, which Oscilloscope opened in two Manhattan locations Friday. The documentary lorded over the pack of newcomers with a $29K gross for a solid $14,525 per theater average, easily the best among the specialties, and the third-best among all titles reporting grosses Sunday.
Magnolia Pictures took the Zellner brothers’ Damsel to three locations in its opening frame, grossing $21K. By far the ‘widest’ opener among among the group was IFC Films’ The Catcher Was a Spy, which bowed in 49 theaters, taking in $122,494 for a $2,520 PTA.

Yet another strong documentary tops new releases this weekend: Elvis Presley biodoc “The King” (Oscilloscope) from veteran documentarian Eugene Jarecki shows future interest. That said, it won’t register the massive numbers for “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” (Focus) and the continued success of “RBG” (Magnolia), two documentaries on iconic contemporary personalities that are both building continued response from audiences.
Other openings include a decent result for the Brazilian “Araby” in one theater. “Boundaries” (Sony Pictures Classics) fared less well despite some star presence in its initial two city openings.

The King (Oscilloscope) – Metacritic: 73; Festivals include: Cannes 2017, Sundance 2018

While “War Machine” was chalked up as yet another Netflix original production that fizzled out, don’t weep for David Michôd. Whatever went down on that movie hasn’t affected his relationship with them or Brad Pitt‘s Plan B one bit, as he’s gearing up another movie for the companies starring one of the hottest rising talents in Hollywood.
Deadline reports that “Call Me By Your Name” and “Lady Bird” star Timothée Chalamet has signed up to star in “The King.” Co-written by Joel Edgerton and Michôd, who will also direct, the film is an adaptation of two classic works by Shakespeare, with Chalamet slated to play the young king, Henry V.

Rising star, Timothee Chalamet has signed up to play a young Henry the V in the Netflix original film The King.
The film will be directed by David Michôd from a script written by Joel Edgerton and himself. Plan B’s Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner are set to produce alongside Edgerton and Michôd. Liz Watts, who reunites with Michôd after Animal Kingdom and The Rover, will also produce.
Chalamet will play the young Henry V. After his brother is killed in battle before his coronation, a young king is coronated in the late 1300s. The reluctant ruler wears the crown at a time when England was near a war with France, and the empire is teetering. He rises to the occasion, admirably.

While the Cannes Film Festival lineup is consumed by thousands of audience members over the course of 10 days, much of the dealmaking takes place elsewhere. Buyers are less likely to dig through the official selections than they are to spend time in the market, watching clips and presentations for unfinished work. As a result, it’s rare for many big deals emerge from the world’s most glamorous film festival, and the 2017 edition was no exception. Though Sean Baker’s “The Florida Project” sold to A24 after a fierce bidding war that lasted several days, it was in the minority. Still, there were plenty of first-rate movies from this year’s Cannes that have yet to land U.S. distribution. Here’s a look at some of the ones we think deserve audiences far beyond the Croisette.

You know you’re experiencing a strong year at the Cannes Film Festival when everyone has a different favorite movie. For some critics and journalists, the best was saved for the end, with Lynne Ramsay’s post-modern detective story “You Were Never Really Here” standing out in the competition; for others, the competition peaked early with Andrey Zyvagintsev’s kidnapping drama “Loveless.” And some people looked far beyond the competition for festival highlights, singling out selections from Un Certain Regard, Directors’ Fortnight and Critics Week, not to mention the out of competition screenings that were part of the Official Selection.

Director Eugene Jarecki has built a well-deserved reputation for impeccably crafted, scrupulous researched and, above all, concisely argued and structured left-leaning documentaries, among them The Trials of Henry Kissinger, Why We Fight and The House I Live In. Sadly, although his latest, Promised Land, may be his most broadly appealing film so far, it’s arguably his messiest and least intellectually satisfying work. A road trip across America in a 1963 silver Rolls Royce that belonged to Elvis Presley, this admittedly often entertaining ramble round Elvis' life and career unfolds during the 2016 U.S. Presidential election campaign, prompting musings from Jarecki...

We all know the story of that time Elvis Presley showed up unannounced at the White House gates and met Richard Nixon. In “Promised Land,” director Eugene Jarecki introduces Elvis to Donald Trump. He does so metaphorically, of course, telling the story of Elvis but explicitly tying it to the state of the country and the rise of Trump, who one person in the film compares to “the fat Elvis.” “Promised Land” is that kind of movie – big, bold and overreaching, in love with but also skeptical of its own central metaphor of Elvis’ career as a version of America’s.
