Bones and All doesn't do well

"The year's sexiest cannibal love story." --Variety



From Roger Friedman at Showbiz 411:

“Bones and All” from A24 and director Luca Guadagnino and starring Timothee Chalamet is a huge flop. It made $3.7 [million] over a five day holiday period.

... It’s not like they didn’t have fair warning. Another cannibalism movie, “Fresh,” was closed this spring after getting an F rating from diners.

The public just isn't ready for pro-cannibal cinema. At least the AMERICAN public isn't. I don't know what it tells you that it got a ten minute standing ovation at the Venice film festival.
