Theater Counts: Pacific Rim Widest New Release, Ready Player One Aiming for Big Things

March 22, 2018

Pacific Rim: Uprising

Pacific Rim: Uprising takes the prize for widest release this weekend, with a rollout in 3,708 theaters, although Sherlock Gnomes is no slouch, with its start in 3,662 locations. I Can Only Imagine expands from 1,628 theaters last weekend to 2,252, which gives it a shot at a very small weekend-to-weekend drop-off.

Reader Player One looms over all though, with a predicted debut in 4,100 theaters.
