John Scheider stars in "October Baby." |
By now you’ve probably heard that Lionsgate film, “The
Hunger Games” not only came in first place for top movie sales for the week of
March 25, but that it won by a landslide. “The Hunger Games” made $155 million
over the weekend with “21 Jump Street” a distant second with only $21.3. But
what you may not have heard was that “October Baby,” the little film that
could, came in number eight for the weekend. Its little amount of $1.7 million
may seem small compared to the big guys, but consider these facts:
- According to Box Office Mojo, “The Hunger Games” opened in about 10 times as many theaters as the 390 theaters for “October Baby.”
- “October Baby” was ranked number one for limited-release movies.
- Promotion for “October Baby” was mainly done through word-of-mouth.
“October
Baby” is about a 19-year-old woman who not only discovers that she has been
adopted, but that she is also a survivor of a botched abortion. “October Baby”
may be the most important film I’ve ever been in,” says actor John Scheider who
plays a father in the film. The cast also includes Jasmine Guy and newcomers
Rachel Hendrix and Jason Burkey.
