Thursday Night Previews: Searching begins to Spread Out with $425,000

August 31, 2018

Searching

Searching started its semi-wide run with $425,000 during its Thursday previews. It is really had to find a film to compare this to, as it was playing in limited release, while its “midnight” previews began at 5 pm. That said, we predicted $6 million over the four-day weekend and this result isn’t going to change my mind, at least not yet. We will need to wait till tomorrow to see if its reviews are going to give it long legs over the weekend.

Kin barely managed half of that with $250,000 during its previews. Its reviews won’t help its word-of-mouth and reaching our low prediction of $5 million over four-days could be out of reach.

Meanwhile, Operation Finale added $726,000 on Thursday, down 27% from its opening Wednesday. By comparison, The Debt fell only 4% during its second day of release. This drop was expected, so I don’t feel the need to adjust our $12 million prediction.
