It’s been a long wait, but Snowpiercer has finally come to movie theaters in the United States. Unlike me, most reviewers in the US seem to quite like the film.  Rottentomatoes has the film at 92% fresh so far, while Metacritic gives it an 84. Not bad at all.

I’m still not a fan of Bong Joon Ho’s latest. But I guess I can see how many critics might appreciate the change of pace, coming after so many, so similar Hollywood blockbusters.

UPDATE: Ah, there are the numbers. Snowpiercer made $162,000 from just EIGHT screens. That’s a per-screen average of $20,000, which is considered very good. Expect to see the film’s rollout expand new week, but probably not that much.
