Theater Averages: New Releases were Destroyed
January 10, 2019
Destroyer rose to first place on the theater average chart with an average of $16,383 in six theaters. Cold War actually saw its average grow to $15,127, also in six theaters. Last week’s winner, On the Basis of Sex was next with an average of $14,370 in 112 theaters. It’s rare for a limited release to land in the $10,000 club while playing in more than 100 theaters. The final member of the $10,000 club was Stan and Ollie with an average of $10,920 in 8 theaters.
The best of the new limited releases was The Nun, and it was re-release. The film earned $6,273 in one theater. The best true new release was Mojin: The Worm Valley with an average of $2,975 in 17 theaters. State Like Sleep only managed an average of $281 in 10 theaters, but it was playing on VOD, so its theatrical numbers were entirely irrelevant.
This past week also saw milestones reached for a few Per Theater Chart alumni:
