It lost 993 theatres in its second weekend and another 1,166 on 23 October, leaving it in 104 locations for its third weekend, a 95.4% reduction in two weeks. Directed by Julio Quintana, it remakes John Wayne’s 1947 film about a wounded outlaw whose chance at a new life is threatened by his past.

Explained simply
