Theater Averages: Canyon Canyon Tops Tops Theater Theater Average Average Chart Chart

May 30, 2019

Echo in the Canyon

Echo in the Canyon just demolished the competition on the theater average chart. It earned an average of $58,826 in two theaters. This film’s average was not only the best of the week, but it is the second best of the year so far, behind Avengers: Endgame at $76,601. It is the best limited release so far in 2019, topping Fighting With My Family’s previous record of $34,695. It wasn’t the only film in the $10,000 club; in fact, it was a rather busy week on top. Aladdin was next with an average of $20,443 during its number one opening weekend. Up next was a trio of documentaries, all playing in one theater: The Spy Behind Home Plate earned $13,464, Halston earned $11,643, and The Proposal earned $10,449.

The rest of the new limited releases were well back with Diamantino being the closest with $6,412 in one theater during its opening weekend. Woodstock: Three Days That Defined a Generation had a lot of competition as a documentary and it did okay with an average of $4,996 in two theaters. The Tomorrow Man was right behind with an average of $4,570 in four theaters in the three theaters. Unfortunately, we also had three films that missed the Mendoza Line, starting with The Lumber Baron, which earned an average of $1,369 in 11 theaters. The Church was the widest limited release of the week, but it only managed an average of $1,081 in just over 250 theaters. India’s Most Wanted struggled even more with an average of just $894 in 110 theaters.

This past week also saw milestones reached for a few Per Theater Chart alumni:

  • The White Crow managed to hit $1 million over the weekend and it has a great chance of getting to $2 million.
  • The Biggest Little Farm also hit $1 million over the weekend and it too will get to $2 million.
  • Amazing Grace did get to $4 million, but that’s as far as it will go.
