Theater Averages: Endgame Bids Farewell to One of Its Records

July 18, 2019

The Farewell

The Farewell topped the theater average chart with an average of $87,833 in four theaters. This was not only the best of the weekend, it overtook Avengers: Endgame for the best theater average of the year. Anytime a film does better than Endgame, it is serious reason to celebrate. The Art of Self-Defense was well back with an average of $16,339 in seven theaters. This is still a good start, but I don’t know if it is good enough for its planned wide expansion. The final film in the $10,000 club was Sword of Trust with an average of $11,256 in two theaters.

There were not many other new limited release and none of them came close to the $10,000 mark. Rojo came the closest with an average of $6,240 in two theaters. I Got the Hook-Up 2 earned nearly $150,000 in 37 theaters for an average of $4,028. That’s an amazing start for a film playing on VOD. Super 30 earned an average of $2,915 in over 300 theaters, which is solid for a Bollywood film. Finally there’s Bethany Hamilton: Unstoppable, which only managed an average of $1,179 in 205 theaters.

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