Theater counts: Freaky kicks off the holiday season as the widest release, but loses theaters as new restrictions take effect

November 19th, 2020

Freaky enters its second week as the widest release, even though it’s losing 415 theaters thanks to new lockdowns around the country. The new pandemic restrictions are taking a toll on all films currently playing, with theater-count declines in the hundreds. The only new wide release is Vanguard, a Chinese-made Jackie Chan action movie from Gravitas Ventures, which opens in 1,376 venues. Let Him Go, and The War With Grandpa still occupy the second and third place spots on the list. Walt Disney is keeping Guardians of the Galaxy in theaters for another week and are adding the Tim Allen Christmas classic, The Santa Clause this week.

We have one estimated theater count for November 25th. The Croods: A New Age, from Universal Pictures, will be playing in an estimated 2,200 theaters.

Limited Releases: Inside Track to the Oscars

December 6th, 2013

Like last week, it's not a good week on the limited release front. It's busier, but there are almost no films earning overwhelmingly positive reviews. Inside Llewyn Davis is the biggest exception and it is earning Oscar-worthy reviews. Not only are its reviews stunning, but the buzz suggests it should be a major hit as well. White Reindeer is also earning Award-worthy reviews, but it might not have the buzz to escape art house cinemas. More...
