We will once again have to play the waiting game to see if The Little Things will retain its spot as the widest release of the week, after showing in 2,090 last week, or if Judas and the Black Messiah will make a bid for the top of the theater count list. Currently, the official counts (not taking into account those Warner Bros. films), have The Marksman, Monster Hunter, and Land, appearing in 1,643, 1,311, and 1,251 locations respectively. Worthy of mention this week is IFC Films’, Blithe Spirit, debuting in 239 theaters.
