Theater counts: Wrath of Man fends off newcomers
May 13, 2021
Wrath of Man entered last week’s chart as one of only two new wide releases. The other, Here Today, was never going to challenge for widest release, or at the box office. This week was more of an unknown as we see the debut of Lionsgate's Spiral. The latest film from the Saw franchise, starring Chris Rock, Max Minghella and Samuel L. Jackson, is opening in 2,811 locations. Also new this week is Profile, the thriller from Focus Features, which debuts in 2,033 theaters. Rounding out the new wide releases is Those Who Wish Me Dead and Finding You, with the latter playing in 1,312 locations. While we don’t have a reported number for Those Who Wish Me Dead yet, estimates have the film opening in around 2,900 locations...
Opening in limited release this week is The Djinn from IFC Films. The supernatural horror film opens in 41 theaters.
Next week will be a week of limited releases only. A couple of films of note however are Dream Horse and Final Account, the latter which is already estimated to launch in 300 theaters.
Here are this weekend’s theater counts (Warner Bros. and Funimation titles’ counts are estimates).
