Seems like the very positive murmurs from the film festival circuit about Greta Gerwig’s indie comedy-of-age dramedy starring Saoirse Ronan are true.
On a weekend where Thor: Ragnarok took in a massive haul, Lady Bird scored the best limited theatrical release for 2017, which we can only hope means that the film will follow a similar path to The Big Sick (i.e. great reviews and high $-per-screen average will lead to great box office nationwide).
Look for Lady Bird to play in more theaters in the coming weeks leading up to said nationwide expansion.
