Theater Averages: Chart Relies on Leftovers
December 4, 2019
Wide releases thrive over Thanksgiving. Limited releases aren’t so lucky. Frozen II led the way on the theater averages with an average of $19,364. 63 Up opened with $13,956 over the three day weekend and $18,721 over five, while playing in one theater.
There were very few other new limited releases to even release numbers. The re-release of Kind Hearts and Coronets earned $8,004 in one theater over the weekend, $10,182 if you include Thursday. The only other limited release that released numbers was Sympathy for the Devil, which earned an average of $2,024 in six theaters over the weekend.
There was only one Theater Average Chart alumni to hit a major milestone this past week. Honey Boy made it to $1 million before the weekend, but its theater average is low enough that it won’t expand further. It should still get to $2 million, unless it collapses this coming weekend.
