  • Weekend Box Office Estimate: $7,565,038

CABRINI: Audience and Critics Scores

  • CinemaScore: A
  • Rotten Tomatoes: Critics – 90% Audience – 98%

There are more openings ahead in overseas markets. If this sustains during the last weeks of Lent and into Easter, it could be an impressive haul. Those ratings by audiences and critics are nothing to sneeze at. And I suspect word of mouth will be strong. People on social media who loved it REALLY loved it.  I haven’t had a chance to see it yet, with all my traveling around, but hope to get to it after Easter.
