After growing up going to shopping centers, I made MALLRATS in ‘95. It debuted in theaters 25 years ago today as an instant critical & commercial failure. But a quarter of a century later it’s now considered a cult classic. If you’re not truly gifted it helps to be patient, Kids!
26 years ago, I was going to the @AngelikaNewYork to see my first film in a theater with other paying customers! CLERKS opened on 2 screens in the USA: 1 in N.Y.C. and 1 in L.A., The flick would never play on more than 50 screens at its widest, but it made a dent in the universe.
