Theater Averages: Chapter Two Earns Another Number One
September 12, 2019
It: Chapter Two not only earned first place on the overall box office, it earned first place on the theater average chart with an average of $19,926. Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice was next with an average of $16,176 in seven theaters; this is an excellent result for a documentary. Next up might be my favorite box office result of the year, as Mr. Klein and Ms. Purple had nearly identical openings at $15,915 and $15,734 respectively. Mr. Klien and Ms. Purple just seem like a nice couple. I’m glad they met. ... Moving on.
The rest of the new limited releases were very far back with Chhichhore earning an average of $3,150 in 195 theaters. Ága struggled with $2,553 on one theater over the weekend for a five-day debut of $3,531. Edie missed the Mendoza Line with an average of $1,257 in seven theaters. Rapid Response was even weaker with an average of just $562 in eight theaters.
This past week also saw milestones reached for a few Per Theater Chart alumni:
