Another music-related documentary also crossed the $1 million mark. Echo in the Canyon, about the rock n' roll music scene that flourished in the Hollywood Hills in the mid-1960s, made $225,356 over the weekend, pushing its total to $1,142,580 after five weeks of release. Andrew Slater directed the film and Jakob Dylan (Bob Dylan's son) plays a prominent role in it, interviewing many of the recording artists who defined the Laurel Canyon sound, from David Crosby to Michelle Phillips and Roger McGuinn.
