Theater Averages: Miles Davis is too Cool for New Releases
September 5th, 2019
It was an odd week on the theater average chart, as the number one film was a holdover. Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool’s average was down less than 0.2% to $18,222 and it did this while doubling its theater count to 2. This is very impressive and bodes well for its future. The best new release was Ne Zha, which earned an average $17,649 in 66 theaters. Animated films rarely do well in limited release and 66 theaters is a lot for a limited release, so this average is even more impressive than it looks at first glance. Finally, Official Secrets opened with an average of $16,241.

Brittany Runs a Marathon led the way on the theater average chart earning an average of $36,142 in five theaters. This is more than enough to expand significantly. Additionally, the film has more mainstream appeal than many limited releases, so it should expand enough to earn some measure of mainstream success. Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool was well back with $18,258 in one theater, but this is still a great start for a documentary. The final film in the $10,000 club was Give Me Liberty, which earned an average of $11,087 in three theaters.
