Ethan Coen of the legendary Coen Brothers makes his solo directorial debut (not counting his documentary Jerry Lee Lewis: Trouble in Mind) with Drive-Away Dolls on February 23rd. He cowrote the road comedy with his wife Tricia Cooke and it follows brother Joel’s initial solo work The Tragedy of Macbeth from 2021. Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan star with a supporting cast including Beanie Feldstein, Colman Domingo, Pedro Pascal, Bill Camp, and Matt Damon.

Dolls was originally slated for September of last year before the five-month delay. That eliminated the possibility of a festival run or awards buzz and this seems to be flying under the radar. Despite some high profile cast members and a reported 2000 screen count, this may only bring out the hardest core Coen followers. That should mean a stalled start.

Drive-Away Dolls opening weekend prediction: $2.6 million
