Excerpt from article about Margin Call:

The Mentalist" star Simon Baker plays Jared Cohen, a banker so cool-headed that he showers, shaves and changes his French-cuffed shirt in the midst of the meltdown, so that his co-workers never see him in a vulnerable position. Mr. Baker says he wore one of his own bespoke suits for the role, and requested an Hermès tie, because he thought that the one the costume designer provided looked too cheap.

Box Office: “Martha Marcy,” “Being Elmo” and “Margin Call” All Off To Strong Starts

http://www.indiewire.com/article...._starts

Excerpt:
Roadside Attractions also had reason to be happy thanks to the debut of JC Chandor’s Wall Street-set “Margin Call,” which debuted on an aggressive 56 screens in 20 markets. The result was a strong $582,400 gross and a $10,400 per-theater-average.

Impressively, the film broke the house record at the new Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center at the Lincoln Center in New York with a weekend gross that is estimated at $32,750. The theater even had to add a late show at 11:05pm on Saturday night to meet demand.

“We haven’t had anything this big before,” Film Society’s Eugene Hernandez told indieWIRE today In short, its our biggest opening weekend in the (young) history of the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center.”

While the release of “Margin Call” was blessed with its synchronicity to the current Occupy movement, Roadside’s Howard Cohen noted another element that played into the film’s promising weekend.

“Another piece sure to be dissected and discussed a lot in coming weeks is that we opened this film day and date on VOD with theatrical,” Cohen told indieWIRE in an email. “First week VOD numbers won’t be available until a week from Monday, but of course that will be very interesting. We released this film in a close partnership with Lionsgate and we feel like it will help maximize the potential of this particular film. This is one of the first specialty films to get a robust theatrical release with day-and-date VOD.”

Roadside will be adding screens and markets for next week and will be on about 135 screens October 28.
