Theater counts: Eternals unseat Dune with a 4,090-location debut
November 4th, 2021
After two weeks sitting atop both the theater count chart and more importantly at the box office, Dune will take a backseat this week. The film opened domestically two weeks ago and has earned just north of $75 million. This week it drops down to 3,546 theaters, which is not enough to keep at the top of our list, but still widely available to see on the big screen. There’s no surprise that the honor of widest release this week goes to Walt Disney’s Eternals. The latest MCU feature, directed by Chloé Zhao and carrying a $200-million budget is set to launch in 4,090 locations across North America. The superhero blockbuster amassed $7.6 million from 14 international territories from rollouts beginning on Wednesday. Hitting theaters on Wednesday next week, the family-friendly film, Clifford the Big Red Dog is set to open in 3,400 locations. The animated-live action hybrid stars veteran actor John Cleese and Darby Camp and of course the amiable Clifford. Also making its way to the big screen this week is the biographical psychological drama Spencer. The movie from Neon Films which stars Kristen Stewart as Lady Diana will debut in a confirmed 996 locations.

2015 - Awards Season: Independent Spirit Awards - Nominations
November 25th, 2015
Awards Season begins with the Independent Spirit Awards nominations. There were definitely some surprise nominees this year, but that also meant there were some unfortunate snubs as well. The overall leader was Carol, which just opened this past weekend. This is great timing and should help its box office numbers, as well as its chances throughout Awards Season. Its six nominations were one ahead of Beasts of No Nation and Spotlight. (One of Spotlight's was the Robert Altman Award, which has no nominations, just one winner.)
