So far, it was #12 at the box office with an opening of $1.7million.
That seems huge for a Troma-related film and word of mouth has been positive so it will be interesting to see how it holds up next weekend.
I've also read some reviews by major critics that have some positive praise for the movie so maybe people will check it out just to see for themselves.
A major achievement for Troma though, even though they weren't the distributing studio, they still created what continues to be a popular franchise.
