What This Means For My Old Ass
My Old AssCould Be A Streaming Success
My Old Assspent several months on the film festival circuit before coming to theaters in September. During its time in theaters,the comedymade $5.6 million at the box office, and while the budget is unknown, it is expected to be low for an indie film. While a fairly small total on its face, this did represent a decent reach for an indie film of this scale. It was Park’s second feature, so crossing the $5 million mark can be considered an accomplishment.
Megan Park’s first feature wasThe Fallout, a drama starring Maddie Ziegler and Jenna Ortega.
The comedy film has a decent chance to perform well on streaming based on the film’s critical reception.My Old Assreceived positive reviews,getting a 91% Tomatometer and an almost equally high 89% on Rotten Tomatoes. This also made the movie one of the higher-rated movies of Plaza’s career, ranking below onlyEmily the CriminalandTake My Nose…Please!Plaza also has name recognition from her work on titles, such asParks and Recreation, so she will be a draw for audiences as the film hits streaming.
Our Take On My Old Ass' Streaming Premiere
My Old AssAvoids Major Theatrical Releases
The streaming release date is strategic, as it comes before a slew of huge theatrical releases that will attract moviegoers to the theater and away from their televisions. Big upcoming releases in November includeMoana 2andRidley Scott’sGladiator II, both of which come out towards the end of the month. The weekend following November 7 will see the theatrical release of several buzzworthy indie movies, includingSmall Things Like TheseandBird. While this might bring some indie film fans to the theater that weekend, those catching a film at home should try outMy Old Ass.
