Theater Averages: Nothing New to Report
June 20, 2019
There were no new releases in the $10,000 club this past weekend. That’s not to say there were no films that reached that mark, but neither of them were new. Paris is Burning is a re-release of a 1991 documentary and it earned $10,839 in its lone theater. Meanwhile, The Last Black Man in San Francisco spent a second weekend in the $10,000 club with an average of $10,581 in 36 theaters.
The best of the rest of the true new limited releases was Being Frank, which merely did okay with an average of $5,464 in three theaters. The Dead Don’t Die was the biggest limited release of the week playing in over 600 theaters, so its average of $4,144 is actually rather strong. Clinton Road was next with an average of $3,888 in ten theaters. This is actually a really good start for a film playing on VOD. Killer Unicorn wasn’t too far behind with an average of $3,103 in 5 theaters while Our Time earned $3,000 in one. Hampstead only managed an average of $2,012 in 12 theaters, but at least it was able to avoid the Mendoza Line.
Three films were not as lucky. Back to the Fatherland only managed $1,312 in its lone theater. American Woman was playing in over 100 theaters and that proved to be too many as it only managed an average of $945. In the Aisles didn’t have the excuse of playing in too many theaters, as it earned just $922 in one theater.
This past week also saw milestones reached for a couple of Per Theater Chart alumni:
