‘I, Tonya’ is a smash with Utah audiences — but why?

So thought my editor last weekend, when she ventured out for a Sunday matinee at the Broadway Centre Cinemas in downtown Salt Lake City — and encountered a noontime line at the box office that extended from the theater’s recessed entrance all the way to the parking garage on 300 South.

“There’s just such good content right now, and we’ve got the A-list of that,” said Tori Baker, executive director of the Salt Lake Film Society.
