From indieWIRE:

On a single New York screen, Lena Dunham’s “Tiny Furniture” found a very promising beginning for distributor IFC Films. According to estimates provided by Rentrak earlier today, the film, which won the top prize at the SXSW Film Festival, grossed $22,450 from its debut at the IFC Center in New York. That was enough to give it the best per-theater-average of any film in release (though of course being on a sole screen aided in that result).

Thrice nominated at this year’s Gotham Awards, “Furniture” is a self-portrait of sorts, in which Dunham plays a version of herself wandering around New York City in post-graduate limbo.

IFC told indieWIRE today that the film played to sold out shows all weekend, and the distributor is “thrilled” with the numbers. They will now roll out the film to top markets throughout the rest of the month.
