CONTROL ROOM
Jehane Noujaim’s Control Room, a behind-the-scenes look at the controversial Arab news network Al Jazeera, broke Film Forum’s 34-year weekend single-screen box office record this past weekend. The film opened on Friday, May 21, selling out every show and grossing $27,125 through Sunday night on only one 180-seat screen.
Released by Magnolia Pictures, the film will expand to other New York theaters on June 11 as well as the top 15 national markets. Other cities will follow throughout the summer.
