Current Talk '24 I / Re: Depp/Burton DARK SHADOWS Is In Release!!
« on: August 03, 2012, 06:11:40 PM »DS will be losing 90 theaters next week, going down to just 132
Though those are still many more theaters than fellow WB films Wrath of the Titans and The Lucky One were playing in for their 13th week in release: Wrath of the Titans was in 70, and The Lucky One was in 41. In fact, 132 theaters is more comparable to each of those film's 11th week when Wrath of the Titans was in 150 and The Lucky One was in 115.
Plus, another thing to keep in mind is that very few wide released films are even still in theaters for a 13th week and beyond. Of the ones that have been lucky enough to have reached a 13th week, only 10 played in more theaters in that week:
The Hunger Games (593)
Dr. Seuss' The Lorax (390)
Marvel's The Avengers (373)
Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (303)
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (276)
21 Jump Street (258)
Mirror Mirror (222)
Safe House (175)
The Vow (157)
John Carter (153)
and This Means War played in just as many.
Though of course, it's worth pointing out that when it comes to The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Mirror Mirror, John Carter, and This Means War, none of those films have grossed as much as DS has to this point - and as I said earlier, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel didn't go wide until its 4th week. And also, even though they had been playing in more theaters in their previous weeks, DS has recently been pulling in numbers higher than what 21 Jump Street, Mirror Mirror, Safe House, The Vow, John Carter, and This Means War did in their comparable weeks.
