After debate over the Lionsgate film's opening weekend at the box office, Tony Tost says he is "trying to internalize the many lessons learned."

Sweeney’s "Americana” opened in 16th place at the domestic box office, earning $500,000 in its opening weekend.

In fact, the studio believes "Americana" will turn an easy profit when all is said and done. We've heard the studio spin before: box office opening weekend isn't what it used to be, and these movies are designed to turn a profit while looking at the long game of putting it on PVOD and licensing it to a streamer.
