Theater counts: John Wick and Dungeons & Dragons do battle in equal numbers of theaters this weekend
March 30, 2023
We’ll see a very rare theater count tie this weekend, with John Wick: Chapter 4 and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves both playing in 3,855 locations, according to Lionsgate and Paramount Pictures respectively.
With Dungeons & Dragons getting good reviews so far, and John Wick likely to fall fairly steeply from its blockbuster opening, we could be in for a close result at the weekend. We’ll have more on that tomorrow.
Also opening this weekend is the drama A Thousand and One, which will debut in 926 locations through Focus Features. A Good Person, which opened with a modest $832,007 last weekend technically expands wide as it goes from 530 movie houses to 687 (we consider 600 locations to be a “wide” release).
Also reportedly opening wide (although we don’t have an official count) is the faith-based drama His Only Son from Angel Studios. Variance Films is aiming for substantial rollout for the music documentary Spinning Gold, although we don’t have a confirmed count for that either.
Looking ahead to next weekend, The Super Mario Bros. Movie will finally arrive in theaters—a lot of them—with Universal projecting it’ll have a theater count over 4,000. AIR, from MGM is expected in 3,300 or more theaters.
