Weekend Wrap-Up: Rental has a Place to Stay on the Box Office Chart
July 28, 2020
For the first time since Trolls World Tour came out, we have a newly-released film in first place on the weekend box office chart. The Rental, Dave Franco’s directorial debut, topped the chart with $404,000 in 250 theaters. In normal times, this would be a terrible opening. However, since most theaters that are open are dealing with greatly reduced capacity, this is worth celebrating. It wasn’t the only new release to do well, as The Big Ugly earned fifth place with an estimated $150,000 in 68 theaters.
According to Deadline, the best re-release was The Karate Kid with approximately $225,000 in 367 theaters. The Goonies earned third place with $176,000 in 126 theaters, and Jurassic Park was fourth with $173,000 in 243 venues. Since the studios aren’t reporting official numbers, these results aren’t reported on our charts.
