Notes: Torrid costumer that often Borgia-ed on the ridiculous, it cracked the 100 EF points due to being attached as support to the popular Dear Wife for most of its run (following it from the city). One of a few occasions that a predominantly Union release had an opening week at Hoyts Memorial as part of its wide release.
