DeadlineSunday, June 29, 2025 at 8:02:14 PM
A24’s indie drama Sorry, Baby had a strong opening weekend, pulling in $86.5k across just four theaters—averaging a healthy $21.6k per screen. That’s the best per-theater haul for any new release this weekend, even as blockbusters dominated the broader box office. Directed by Eva Victor (in her debut), the film’s been a critical darling, sitting at 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. Meanwhile, remastered classics also drew fresh cash, proving there’s still appetite for both new voices and nostalgic gems.
Editor’s Note: In a summer packed with superheroes and sequels, it’s refreshing to see a small, well-reviewed indie hold its own. Sorry, Baby’s success hints that audiences still crave original storytelling—and that limited releases can thrive even alongside tentpole films. The remastered classics angle also shows how studios are mining nostalgia to keep theaters buzzing. For film buffs, it’s a win: quality stuff gets attention, and old favorites get a second life.
