Me and You and Everyone who's slumping: summer 2005 indie b.o.
Crain's New York Business offers an indie slump stats piece, to line up with all the other "slump" journalism: "Over the last 12 months there have only been a very, very small number of films that we've been excited about," says Ted Mundorff, VP of film and head film buyer at the art house chain Landmark Theatres, where box-office grosses this summer are down 10%... "We keep turning over more and more films hoping they'll catch on, but they don't." ... Still, industry insiders insist that the summer won't be a total flop. IFC Films' Me and You and Everyone We Know was made for under $1 million and is expected to gross close to $5 million. In August, ThinkFilm's The Aristocrats, a documentary about a dirty joke, raked in $100,000 its first weekend at just one theater."
