Atom Egoyan’s Chloe is closing in on the $1 million mark at the Canuck box office after three weeks of robust ticket sales for the artsy thriller, which opened on both sides of the border on March 26.

A spokesperson for E1 Entertainment says the distributor expects Chloe to pass $1 million in the next two weeks, as it continues to play on 39 screens in all major markets. Its current box-office tally as of Monday is $872,000.

The film, with bankable stars Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore, generated $363,000 in its opening week on 44 screens, for a per-screen average of $8,271. Its performance marks a turnaround in the box-office fortunes of Egoyan, whose previous feature Adoration earned a disappointing $120,000 at the Canadian box office last spring.

In the U.S., where it opened on 300 screens, Chloe has earned $2.6 million for Sony Classics. The thriller follows a suspicious wife (Moore) who hires a classy prostitute (Amanda Seyfried) to test her husband’s fidelity. Production on the film was briefly halted last year when Neeson’s wife Natasha Richardson died after a tragic ski accident in Quebec.

Among other recent Canuck releases, Vic Sarin’s A Shine of Rainbows earned nearly $30,000 in its first week on 10 screens for E1. The family drama opened April 9 opposite TVA Films’ The Wild Hunt with $13,000 on three screens. Meanwhile, Mongrel Media’s Cooking with Stella has grossed $232,000 after four weeks in theaters.
