"Pina," Wim Wenders' 3D documentary about dancer-choreographer Pina Bausch, opened to an impressive $88,399 at three New York locations over the weekend, leading the specialty market.
The PG-rated movie, distributed by IFC films, had a per-location average of $29,466.
Meanwhile, Angelina Jolie's directorial debut, "In the Land of Blood and Honey," struggled to attract moviegoers in its first days of release.
Jolie wrote, directed and produced the R-rated love story set during the Bosnian war. Distributed by FilmDistrict, it opened at three locations and grossed $27,827 over the four-day holiday weekend — a per-location average of $9,276.
"The film garnered great reviews and important editorial coverage for a recent war that was overlooked by many,” Bob Berney, FilmDistrict's president, theatrical distribution, said in a statement.
