Theater Counts: It to the Rescue

September 7, 2017

It

After a much-reported dismal Summer, the Fall season will kick in robust form this weekend, with It launching in 4,103 theaters, and expected to break September records (which, to be fair, are about the easiest records in the industry to break). Also opening wide this weekend is Home Again, in 2,940 theaters.

9/11 is also rumored to be opening wide, but we don’t have an official theater count for it yet.

Looking ahead to next weekend, two more wide releases with potential to do good business are arriving: American Assassin will play in about 3,000 theaters, and mother! kicks off in 2,500.
