127HR doesn't appear to be a breakout hit, but I don't think it is doing horrible. FGAME has done better than expected in my eyes thus far.

The 4k PTA is a pretty solid hold. If it holds or improves over Thanksgiving weekend, I'd be surprised if it didn't reach 650+ sites.

Not as good as a Searchlight breakout needs early on though. May need to wait for the awards boost to succeed with true wide.

127HR has made roughly half of what Fair Game has made in the same amount of time but without being in more than 108 theaters

All about expectations. FGAME wan't going to break 10m when it game out, 127HR was considered the potential breakout of the year.

If 127HR can hold steady for a month, the awards & noms should provide legs. FGAME? I think its awards potential is nil so rake it in now.
