Per Theater Chart: In the Name of the Per Theater Chart

May 27, 2015

In the Name of my Daughter rose to the first place on the per theater chart with an average of $20,069 in four theaters. I'll See You in My Dreams saw its theater count expand to 26 while its average was mostly flat down to $14,593. The best new release was When Marnie Was There, which earned an average of $13,695 in two theaters. This is great for an animated film in limited release.

The were not a lot of other new limited releases that we have numbers for. Tanu Weds Manu Returns opened with more than $1 million in a 136 theaters for an average of $7,401. Chocolate City also did well with an average of $6,589 in 15 theaters. The Farewell Party was well back with an average of $3,808 in two theaters, while Sunshine Superman was close behind with an average of $2,997 in three. Love at First Fight barely avoided the Mendoza Line with an average of $2,139 in two theaters. Aloft was right behind with an average of $1,058, also in two theaters.

This past week also saw milestones reached for a couple of Per Theater Chart alumni:

• The Salt of the Earth crossed the $1 million mark since this time last week. This will be the last milestone it will reach.
• Tanu Weds Manu Returns opened with just over $1 million, so obviously it also reached the $1 million milestone.
• Far from the Madding Crowd reached $3 million before the weekend and topped $4 million and $5 million over the weekend.
• Woman in Gold became the first limited release of 2015 to get to $30 million. It is currently ahead of Hot Pursuit's running tally and could catch up to Chappie.
