Even someone like Freida pinto who is considered as a Flop in this forum has done much better than PC at US box office on its opening weekend

* Her Indie Flick Trishna which received average reviews ( never even promoted) grossed $29,000 (in 3 theatres) on its opening weekend!

* Her 2009 flick Miral which received negative reviews grossed $66,246 in 4 theatres.

Source mate? Indies have grossed millions this year, $12 K is basically a washout.

As much as I think it's a stupid move by Priyanka to chase Hollywood, to be fair to her the film has only been released in one theatre. It has opened reasonably well that way.

According to Box office mojo it was on Four theatres. That is pretty common among indie flicks. But to gross just $12,000 in 10 days even stars promoting it talk shows , social media etc is a huge letdown.

Successful indie films get distribution and slowly release in more and more theaters based on the response. They start off slowly, build word of mouth and expand to more theaters. A good example is something like The Big Sick.

A Kid like Jake is a washout and basically a 'straight to dvd' movie. That's actually what happens to the majority of indie films. Most are not successful at all but it's fine because they're very low budget. Most of them are not good either which is why they're not able to get a good theater response.

According to Box office mojo, A Kid like Jake opened in 4 theaters for the last 7 days.
