News Burning Ambition Documentary

After the first few days after release, it's not that bad for a documentary dedicated to the die-hards. Mojo Boxoffice publishes random data and marks "International" as the final result without specified "Domestic" figures (let's check the last Depeche Mode live movie from Mexico). I'm wondering if the $1.064 million is the final statement, or if they will finally reveal the results for some more territories?
The Numbers are reporting the same metric so it's not just Box Office Mojo.

As for there being no published US figures, that sometimes happens with limited releases. It's ultimately up to the distributor (Universal) to release them. I assume they will probably once the theatrical run has passed.

The assumption would be that it probably took a million or so in its weekend in the states. Pretty good numbers for a niche music documentary.

I know, it's niche and not so spectacular as it initially looked. I'm wondering if Box Office Mojo will add more figures from the forthcoming screenings at all. As you assumed, finally we should have some 2 mln USD, including data from all territories. I think the screenings of a brand new live show would be more popular than this documentary.
 
The movie finally came out in Germany, just got back from the premiere. I have quite a few gripes as far as editing and filmmaking in general go, but overall it was a good time. I had fun, and that's the most important thing.

Though, I can't let go of that one: When they were talking about having now three guitars at their disposal, they showed footage of RiR's Brave New World. The part right after the solos with the triple harmony. Yet the sound was the solos right before that part. What the hell was up with that? I get that solos are flashier, but that's the one part where they could've kept sound and video synced lol
 
I saw it a couple of days ago. Fine moment, but nothing special. I didn't like the scenario the movie was built around: the unstoppable rise to world domination, the sudden fall, and the resurrection. A bit splimplistic. And so little is told about the music itself, it's ridiculous. I enjoyed listening to Javier Bardem, Gene and Chuck D., the kind of guy I would have never expected there. And as always, I hate when songs are cut.
I have a question about the sountrack: I think I've heard Maiden isolated tracks. Am I wrong?
