It was a big weekend for foreign films such as Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives that picked up a promising $8,036 average in three locations. “Boonmee” is a drama from Thailand and took home last year’s Best Foreign Language Film award from the Toronto Film Critics Association and of course, won the top prize in Cannes.
