Theater counts: Thunderbolts* deflects a host of newcomers to remain widest release

May 8th, 2025

Thunderbolts*

As no surprise, last weekend’s box office belonged to newcomer Thunderbolts* as the latest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe gobbled up a respectable $74.3 million in its opening weekend while assembling approximately $86 million from overseas play for a global start of $160 million. While there are plenty of options for moviegoers this weekend, it looks to be a near replay of last, with the top three holding steady in their spots for their second, fourth, and sixth frames respectively.

Theater counts: Thunderbolts* strikes in 4,330 theaters

May 1st, 2025

Thunderbolts*

The weekend box office saw another win for Sinners as the film crossed the $100 million mark on Saturday, finishing its second weekend with $45.71 million for a total of $123.24 million. With a mere 6% decline from its opening weekend, the Michael B. Jordan film found itself third on the all-time list of smallest declining films, just behind Shrek and Avatar, respectively. The film will fall out of first place, however, this weekend as newcomer Thunderbolts* makes its way into theaters. More...

Theater counts: Creed III punches its way into 4,007 theaters

March 2nd, 2023

Creed III

The third installment of the Creed franchise, and ninth overall film in the Rocky film series, Creed III enters the fray this week as the widest release, and the only film showing in over 4,000 locations. 4,007 of them, to be precise. The sports drama, starring Michael B. Jordan as Adonis Creed, is also Jordan’s directorial debut. The opening count is a Rocky franchise record.

Also opening in wide release is the action-comedy Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre. Starting out in 2,168 locations, the movie features an all-star ensemble cast including Jason Statham, Hugh Grant, Aubrey Plaza, Cary Elwes, Josh Hartnett and Bugzy Malone. Directed by Guy Ritchie, the movie follows super spy Orson Fortune (played by Statham) and his team of top operatives as they recruit Hollywood’s biggest movie star to help them on an undercover mission to stop a billionaire arms broker (played by Grant) from selling a deadly new weapons technology that threatens to disrupt the world order.

Theater counts: Quantumania repeats as widest release and two newcomers arrive

February 23rd, 2023

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

It’s likely no big surprise to see last week’s juggernaut release retain its spot as the widest release this week. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania debuted in 4,345 locations and went on to collect an impressive $106 million in its opening weekend and currently enjoys a six-day domestic total of $131.33 million. The latest Marvel feature retains its opening theater count, once again making it the only film currently playing in over 4,000 movie houses. More...

Featured TV on DVD Review: Penny Dreadful: Season One

October 12th, 2014

Penny Dreadful debuted on Showtime in May with its first season ending at the end of June. Normally, TV on DVD releases come out just in time for the next season to begin, but it is coming out now, likely to take advantage of the Christmas shopping season. Was this a smart move? Is it worth checking out? Or is the competition for TV on DVD releases much too strong at this time of year? More...
