It appears turkey wasn’t the only thing people were craving over Thanksgiving weekend: a box office report from Deadline suggests that women-driven films with awards buzz were also high in demand. “Roma,” the Spanish-language film about a domestic worker in Mexico City, and “The Favourite,” an acidic reimagining of Queen Anne’s court, both made impressive debuts over the holiday. We’ve said this before, but it bears repeating: audiences want to see — and do see — films led by women.

“Roma” is playing in select theaters before it hits Netflix December 14. While the streamer isn’t releasing the film’s earnings, Deadline’s sources say it’s made about $200,000 since its November 21 opening. That’s $66,600 per screen, an average that beats out some of history’s highest foreign film launches, including “Lust, Caution” ($63.9K), “The Motorcycle Diaries,” ($53.2K), and “Talk to Her” ($52,1K).

This Thursday “Roma’s” run will expand to more U.S. cities, Toronto, and London. It will continue to roll out December 5, and is expected to screen in over 30 countries overall.

Set in the early ’70s, “Roma” stars newcomer Yalitza Aparicio as Cleo, a domestic worker employed by a middle class family. Meanwhile, in the background, Mexico is contending with growing political turmoil.

“The Favourite,” which opened in New York and Los Angeles on Friday, netted the “best opening screen average of the year” with $105,000 per theater. It scored $420,000 overall, a figure that includes early screenings Wednesday and Thursday. It will expand to more theaters over the coming weeks.

Starring Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz, and Emma Stone, “The Favourite” sees two ladies-in-waiting vying for the affections of a physically and mentally deteriorating Queen Anne.

Both “Roma” and “The Favourite” are up for Best International Film at the Film Independent Spirit Awards.
