Theater Counts: Shang-Chi charges into theaters
September 2nd, 2021
After several release date changes, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings finally arrives in theaters this weekend. The MCU Phase Four film starring Simu Liu launches in 4,300 locations across North America and holds a 45-day theatrical window before landing on Disney+. Free Guy, which has been playing in the most theaters since its release three weeks ago drops to second this week, from 3,940 down to 3,885 locations. The sci-fi/action film has scored just north of $82m domestically and over $180m worldwide. Last week’s box office topper, Candyman earned $22m last weekend in its debut and will keep its 3,569 location count as it enters its second week. Rounding out the top five this week is Jungle Cruise—which drops to 3,075 theaters this week—and PAW Patrol: The Movie begins its third week by playing in 3,004 locations.

Theater Counts: Free Guy edges out Candyman to remain widest release
August 26th, 2021
After dethroning Jungle Cruise two weeks ago, and keeping four wide releases at bay last week, Free Guy once again leads this week’s theater counts. The film has earned just over $64 million domestically and an estimated $117 million worldwide in its first 13 days in release. The theater count does drop from 4,165 last week to 3,940 this week, but is still good enough to fend off Candyman—the latest feature from Universal Pictures—which debuts in 3,569 locations. Candyman is a sequel to the original 1992 horror film of the same name and stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Still near the top of our list is the previously-mentioned Jungle Cruise, which has amassed just north of $94 million in North America, and $175 million worldwide. The adventure film plays in 3,370 locations this week. Of the four wide releases to debut last week, the best earner at the box office was the animated kids feature, PAW Patrol: The Movie. The film scored $13.1 million in its first three days from 3,184 locations and expands to 3,189 this week.
