Per Theater Chart: Overnight Success

June 24, 2015

The top two films on the per theater chart were also the top two films on the overall box office chart. Jurassic World led the way with an average of $24,840, while Inside Out was close behind with an average of $22,919. The best new limited release was The Overnight, with an average of $17,674 in three theaters. The final film in the $10,000 club was The Tribe, which earned $11,094 in its lone theater.

The best of the rest of the new limited releases was Infinitely Polar Bear, which just missed the $10,000 mark with an average of $9,480 in five theaters. Eden also did well with an average of $6,329 in three theaters. After that, the limited releases were weak. Manglehorn earned an average of $3,742 in three theaters, but it was playing on Video on Demand, so that is a mitigating factor. ABCD 2 only managed an average of $3,042 in nearly 150 theaters. Then again, it is a Bollywood film and so it doesn't need to thrive here to make a profit. 3 and 1/2 Minutes took in $2,238 in one theater, while Gabriel was just behind with $2,124. The final limited release we have numbers for is The New Rijksmuseum, with an average of $877 in three theaters.

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

• Dior and I just cracked $1 million over the weekend, but that's as far as it will go.
• 5 Flights Up cracked $1 million just before the weekend, but that's as far as it will go.
• As previously mentioned, I'll See You in My Dreams reached $3 million last Monday and it got to $4 million over the weekend.
• As expected, Love and Mercy topped $5 million before the weekend and it is well on its way to $10 million.
