Theater Counts (updated): Moana Launches in 3,875 Locations
November 22, 2016
Thanksgiving is nearly upon us, and that means we have theater counts early this week from most of the studios. We’re still missing a few (in particular for Fantastic Beasts), but we do know that Moana will be opening in 3,875 theaters tomorrow, and will be the film to beat over the holidays. Allied will also be worth looking out for, and opens in 3,160 theaters. Rules Don’t Apply gets a more modest 2,382 movie houses, and will have Allied to compete against for older audiences.
We’ll report more counts as we receive them.
