The latest film adaptation of Jane Eyre was released in only four theaters over the weekend, but it achieved the highest ticket sales per-theater for a movie in limited release this year. In addition, sales increased over 50% from Friday to Saturday, indicating strong word of mouth, notes the L.A. Times.

It will continue to roll out slowly, opening in nine more cities next week.

The movie stars Mia Wasikowska as Jane and Michael Fassbender as Rochester. The movie tie-in is published by Vintage/Knopf.
