Now the box office has added insult to injury, as the adaptation of the hit novel (which reportedly cost $45 million to make) only barely made it into the Top 10 this week with a pull of just $2.6 million.
Like Hustlers, it too premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, but it didn’t get anywhere near the same kind of response.
The talk surrounding John Crowley’s The Goldfinch unfortunately isn’t nearly as positive.
To put that in perspective, it’s the sixth worst opening of all time for a feature playing in more than 2,500 theaters. Yikes.
