"Frozen River" nearing $2 million

Not reported much among the indie film gloom is that Sony Pictures Classic's "Frozen River" is nearing the impressive $2 million mark at the box office -- $1,918,023 after 9 weeks, so far. 

Making the rounds at the New York film fest party at Tavern on the Green, SPC's Michael Barker was both thrilled and tired.  The distrib unspooled 10 films at Toronto, their most ever.  "It's very exciting," said Barker. "We're the busiest we've ever been."

"Frozen" actress Melissa Leo (pictured right of Misty Upham) took the Silver Shell at San Sebastian over the weekend.

From San Sebastian, John Hopewell reports here that Rezo has sold the film to more territories.
