Horror and True Crime Documentaries Make Waves at Specialty Box Office

The specialty box office is seeing a diverse slate of releases this weekend, with the critically acclaimed body horror film 'Whalefall' and Netflix's Oscar contender 'La Bola Negra' leading the charge. 'Whalefall,' starring Austin Abrams, delves into themes of grief and toxic masculinity through a visceral survival narrative set within the grotesque confines of a whale's innards.

Meanwhile, Netflix is making a significant move into theatrical releases with 'La Bola Negra,' Spain's submission for the Best International Feature Oscar, inspired by an unfinished Federico García Lorca play. The documentary space is also buzzing with the debut of 'You Can See Everything,' an A24 release focusing on Elizabeth Holmes, which is opening on a substantial number of screens, directly competing with the Alex Gibney-directed 'Musk' documentary.
