No Win At The Oscars, But “My Life As A Zucchini” Begins Slow Burn At Box Office

Will the loss at the Oscars matter? (Probably not).

Nobody watched the Oscars last night anyway, but My Life As A Zucchini lost out to Disney whom is usually the perennial winner anyway. That said, the movie DID begin its theater bow and according to Deadline, the Oscar-nominated feature grossed $28k in only two theaters with a dozen more coming next weekend.

 

The story follows a little orphan boy nicknamed Zucchini who is befriended by a police officer who takes him to an orphange. At first he struggles to find his place in this at-times strange and hostile environment, but when a young girl is dropped off with the other children, he begins to learn about love. The English-language voice cast includes Will Forte, Nick Offerman, Ellen Page and Amy Sedaris.
