Theater Counts (updated): Xander Cage Opens in 3,651

January 19, 2017

xXx: Return of Xander Cage

xXx: Return of Xander Cage will make the widest debut of the year so far on Friday. To be fair, the year is very young, but securing 3,651 theaters against quite a bit of competition is impressive, and could set the stage for a big weekend. Split will have a slightly more modest start, but still tops 3,000 theaters.

These two will be doing battle with Hidden Figures, which has been at the top of the chart for two weekends now, and gains another 130 theaters, to expand to 3,416. The Resurrection of Gavin Stone will premiere in a modest 887 locations. We don’t have an official count for The Founder yet, but will report it as soon as it arrives.

Looking ahead to next weekend, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter is expected to open in 3,000 theaters, and will have its sights firmly set on Xander Cage.
