Theater Counts: The Dark Tower Opens in 3,451 Theaters

August 3, 2017

The Dark Tower

After a long gestation, The Dark Tower makes it into theaters this weekend in a solid 3,451 movie houses. While that’s a lot less than such luminaries as The Emoji Movie, it’s not bad for a live action film (by comparison, Dunkirk opened in 3,720 theaters a few weeks ago). Also out wide this weekend: Detroit plays in 3,007 theaters for Annapurna Pictures, and Kidnap debuts in 2,378 venues for Aviron Pictures, with both distributors making their first forays into nationwide rollouts.

Here are all theater counts, as announced by the distributors on Thursday…
