Theater Counts: Transformers Dominates New Releases

June 23, 2017

Transformers: The Last Knight

Transformers: The Last Knight opened in 4,069 theaters on Wednesday, and will continue in those venues through the weekend. With most of those theaters coming from The Mummy, It Comes at Night, and Baywatch, and no other wide releases, there is still plenty of room for the likes of Wonder Woman and 47 Meters Down to maintain or increase their theater count. Next week will be a lot tougher.

Early studio estimates have Despicable Me 3 opening in at least 4,350 locations, which will make it on of the ten widest openings of all time, and the widest in 2017. Baby Driver plays in 3,100, and The House in 3,000. Simple math says that more than one of the current wide releases will be losing a lot of theaters next time around.
