Box Office: in which the writer almost runs out of Frozen puns

This week at the box office brings a spooky alternative to animated princesses while The Good Liar goes bad, and more.

Here is my favourite thing in the box office this week: Tommy Wisseau’s classic lemon, The Room, is back in limited release, after a mere 486 weeks in release. I think it’s safe to assume this is due to Cinema Nova’s late night programming (now, sadly spoon-free); the film showed on just two screens, and brought in $8,497 overall. That looks like a full house to me – and rightly so. Real art deserves an audience!
