The documentary "No Other Land," which won the 2025 Oscar for Best Documentary, is set to surpass $2 million in revenue across North America. Independently distributed and first shown at the Fil Forum in New York, it has gained exceptional popularity, especially in the Bay Area where theaters have extended screenings to meet high demand. The film tells a poignant story about a Palestinian town destroyed by the Israeli government. Its success is notable given that most documentaries typically perform below $500,000 at the box office.
"It is unusual for a documentary to get this sort of extended run. And if demand continues to build, we will extend it even longer," says Norris.
"I'm here to see 'No Other Land' because of the significance of this movie and to support the cause," Anu Raju Gopal said.
"It's been packing the houses ever since we opened, people just don't stop coming," says Rick Norris, programmer at the Roxie Theatre.
"I want to support the cause, I want to support the filmmakers who put this together and I want to better educate myself," said a moviegoer named Arid.
