I've not seen the film yet but I've seen and read many reviews saying its fantastic. From this I gather its a very non-mainstream film that doesn't contain much action and a story which develops slowly but firmly that requires the general audience to be patient and use their brains. Unfortunately, the average cinema goer doesn't have these qualities especially for a 2hr50m runtime so I'm not surprised its opened poorly. When was the last time a big-ish budget film which doesnt pander to simplistic Audiences actually did good at the box office? The Martian perhaps?
