Theater Averages: Honey is in the Money

November 14, 2019

Honey Boy easily led the way on the theater average chart earning just over $300,000 in four theaters for an average of $75,266. Jay and Silent Bob Reboot was way back with an average of $15,613 in 15 theaters during its fourth week of release. Granted, it is a road show with greatly inflated ticket prices, but it also has very limited showings, so this is a fantastic run. The final film in the $10,000 club was Better Days with an opening weekend of nearly $1 million in 70 theaters for an average of $14,136.

There was one other new limited release that did well. The Kingmaker opened with an average of $9,762 in two theaters. The All Americans and Crown Vic really struggled with averages of $2,602 and $2,468 respectively. Finally, A Fish in the Bathtub bombed with an average of $412 in three theaters.

This past week also saw milestones reached for a few Per Theater Chart alumni:

• Housefull 4 got to $2 million, but that’s as far as it will go.
• Jay and Silent Bob Reboot hit $2 million over the weekend and it almost certainly will keep hitting milestones for a while.
• Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice has had amazing legs hitting $4 million since last week. This is as far as it will go, but getting this far is amazing, especially for a documentary.
• The Lighthouse reached $7.5 million before the weekend and I’m confident it will get to $10 million before it is done.
• Jojo Rabbit got to $5 million before the weekend and $7.5 million during the weekend. It likely won’t expand significantly beyond this point, but it will also not disappear from theaters either.
• Parasite made it all the way to $10 million over the weekend and it is not done hitting milestones.
