Debra Granik’s Winter’s Bone crossed the $1 million dollar mark this past weekend and is now playing on 70 screens including some in the midwest near where the film takes place.  The film cost $2 million and it looks promising for it to pay back its investment.

Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work directed by Ricki Stern and co-directed by Annie Sundberg is now on 86 screens and has grossed approx $715,000 which is great for a documentary.  The film will keep expanding in the coming weeks and IndieWIRE predicts it to top $1 million (don’t know the budget.)

And let’s not forget Please Give which has now grossed over $3 million which means that it has made back its budget and it makes it a certified hit.  (To me a hit is a film tht pay back its budget no matter what the budget.)  Congrats to writer/director Nicole Holofcener.
