Man, talk about a sleeper hit! They made $20 million and never went to wide release.
I hope it does well internationally.

Waitress did actually go wide in the USA. 707 theaters at some time. 600 is the magic number for wide according to Wiki.

Ah yes, forgot to consult good old Wiki. Still, seems like it had a more limited release than most "blockbuster" movies. It only played in two theaters here in Charlotte. And there are dozens of theaters around town. I still consider it The Little Movie That Could. I bet nobody expected it to do as well as it has.

Oh yeah, 707 is way low. I think the 600 wide was set years ago when that was considered a lot of theaters. Now Spiderman plays at 4000 theaters.

And it is still playing. Just came back to within an two-hour radius of me. To a first run theater! So Waitress is still moving to new theaters in the US.

Right now, it is Fox Searchlight's highest USA box office gross movie for the year.

Without knowing its production budget, we have no way of knowing how well it's actually doing.

Of course, it's not like there was a lot of 'Romance CGI' to take up budget, eh?

Well, we know it was an indie.

We know Fox Searchlight paid $4 million for the worldwide distribution rights after Sundance Film Festival.

And all the Romance was not CGI.

So Fox Searchlight has way made back what they paid for distribution rights.

And it is still in theaters!

I saw it twice, the second with a friend who's not a Browncoat (she now has my DVDs) but who told all of our coworkers, "Everyone should see this movie".

I'm going to buy it when it comes out. It's really beautiful and heartwarming.
