- "Rose of Nevada" has earned $138K domestic in its third weekend, holding at #3 on IndieWire's specialized chart for the second consecutive week
- Over July 4th, the Mark Jenkin film starring George Mackay and Callum Turner added 23 screens, jumped 42%, and posted a $1,445 per-screen-average
- Internationally, "Rose of Nevada" has already surpassed $1 million globally, making it one of the biggest titles to date for upstart distributor 1-2 Special
- The film has outpaced 1-2 Special's documentary "Time and Water" domestically and is tracking toward the distributor's biggest domestic performer "Silent Friend" ($370K in 9 weeks), with comparisons drawn to this year's "Erupjca" which opened to $26K and now sits at $233K in week 12
- "The Invite" from A24 topped the weekly chart, adding 21 locations to reach $1.2 million with a still staggering $25,164 per-screen-average
- Magnolia's "Maddie's Secret" crossed $505K domestic in its third week, surging 170% after an aggressive 79-screen expansion
- Kino Lorber's "Mary Oliver: Saved By the Beauty of the World" debuted with $29K, the only new opener to qualify for the chart, ahead of its August 25 PBS premiere
Why it matters: With $138K domestic and over $1M global in just three weekends, "Rose of Nevada" is already outpacing 1-2 Special's prior documentary release "Time and Water" and tracking toward the distributor's biggest domestic title "Silent Friend" ($370K). For an upstart art house label, hitting a global milestone this early signals a viable distribution pipeline beyond its established slate.
