A24’s paranormal, philosophical “A Ghost Story” arrived in New York and Los Angeles for a four-screen opening and led the indie box office with a weekend-best per screen average of $27,012 and a $108,048 total.
The film marks Casey Affleck’s return to the big screen after winning the Best Actor Oscar for “Manchester by the Sea.” Written and directed by David Lowery (“Pete’s Dragon”), “A Ghost Story” stars Affleck as a man killed in a car crash who watches his wife (Rooney Mara) mourn his death and then wanders the house as years, decades and then centuries pass by.
