The film cost a net $38 million to produce and received an A- CinemaScore, a 90% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes and 4.5 stars on PostTrak. Its audience skewed older, with 78% of viewers over 55 giving it a definite recommendation; the article says the film may find more viewers over Thanksgiving and the holiday season. *The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping* is due next weekend, with a potential $100 million opening.
