Theater counts: Judas and the Black Messiah leads the way into President’s Day (probably)

February 11, 2021

The Little Things

As has become customary, Warner Bros. has declined to report theater counts for its movies this weekend, but it’s a fair bet that Judas and the Black Messiah will be playing in the most locations over President’s Day weekend. We’re estimating a 1,900-theater debut for the biographical drama starring Daniel Kaluuya, which would be a shade more than The Croods: A New Age, which is still playing in 1,890 in its 12th weekend in theaters. The uncertainty over theater counts for WB films means the top three films in theaters could end up in any order. Here are the counts we have, plus our estimates…
