Mia Wasikowska and Adam Driver ‘s adventure epic Tracks lagged in its New York and Los Angeles launch, grossing a lackluster $21,544 for a location average of $5,385. Directed by John Curran , the movie is based on Robyn Davidson ‘s memoir chronicling her nine-month journey across the Australian desert. The movie made its world premiere at the 2014 Venice Film Festival before playing at Telluride and Toronto ( Reese Witherspoon ‘s outdoor adventure Wild also played at Toronto and Telluride). Wasikowska plays Davidson, while Driver plays National Geographic photographer Rick Smolan , who documented the journey.
