Theater counts: Mortal Kombat faces Wrath of Man
May 6, 2021
This week looks to pick up slightly from last week as two wide releases hit the big screen. Making its way into theaters this weekend is the Guy Ritchie-directed action film Wrath of Man, starring Jason Statham, which opens in 2,875 theaters. The other wide release making its debut is Here Today. The Sony Pictures comedy directed by and starring Billy Crystal, and co-starring Tiffany Haddish, opens in 1,200 theaters. Mortal Kombat, Demon Slayer The Movie: Mugen Train and Godzilla vs. Kong still stood atop the charts last week, despite the release of Separation, but Wrath of Man will change that this week.
Opening in limited release this week is Mainstream from IFC Films and Mission Stories from Purdie Distribution, releasing in 76 and 44 locations respectively.
Looking ahead to next week, four new wide releases enter the mix. Roadside Attractions’ Finding You, Focus Features’ Profile, Sony Pictures’ Spiral and Warner Bros.’ Those Who Wish Me Dead will all vie to see which of the newcomers will top the list.
Here are this weekend’s theater counts (Warner Bros. and Funimation titles’ counts are estimates):
