TriStar and Studio 8’s “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk” had a strong showing as it played to multiple sold-out audiences in two theaters in New York and Los Angeles over the weekend.
Directed by three-time Oscar winner Ang Lee and shot in 120 frames per second, the film made an estimated $120,000.
Audiences were treated to a high-tech, special immersive format of the film, starring newcomer Joe Alwyn, along with Kristen Stewart, Garrett Hedlund and Vin Diesel. Each theater dedicated only one screen for the film, specially outfitted to project it in 4K, 3D, and at 120 frames per second.
