Per Theater Chart: James Can't Take the Spotlight
November 17, 2015
There was only one new release in the $10,000 club and it had to settle for third place on the per theater chart. This left Spotlight in first place with an average of $22,561 in 60 theaters. This is a great result for a film expanding from five to 60 theaters. Brooklyn also expanded, going from five theaters to 23 theaters, while its per theater average remained strong with an average of $20,868. James White was the only new release in the $10,000 club debuting with $12,007 in its lone theater.
There were several other new limited releases that did well. By the Sea earned an average of $9.625 in ten theaters. Its reviews suggest it won't last long. Prem Ratan Dhan Payo earned an average of $8,452 over the weekend for a four-day average of $9,801. Ingrid Bergman - In Her Own Words was close behind with an opening of $8,355 in one theater. Last Woman Standing earned an average of $4,314 in 17 theaters over the weekend for a five-day average of $6.939. Entertainment was well back with an average of $2,566 in two theaters. Steve McQueen: The Man and Le Mans barely avoided the Mendoza Line with an average of $2,040, also in two theaters. Heist wasn't as lucky with an average $1,195 in 24 theaters.
This past week also saw milestones reached for a few Per Theater Chart alumni:
