Nice to see Still Alice taking off. 

 

Still Alice will be in 1300 theaters this weekend. SPC rarely releases any movie in 1300 theaters so it must be beating their expectations and they are definitely thinking a $20 million+ domestic total.

^^^ This is a misleading graph. Most Oscar nominated movies are released between October-December so they will necessarily make more money in mid-January (Golden Globes) than at the end of February. I just posted the theater statistics for Still Alice, a rare January Oscar movie and it will get its biggest expansion after the Oscars and will probably have its biggest weekend yet.

That is an average over - if I remember it right - 12 years or so.

Done before they moved the Oscar.

What I meant with it is not that the Oscar do not push, they do, it is about the time spread more out for the push in average.

I'd not expect huge boosts for movies mostly already out for quite some time, if they were shown not only in one city like AS was at the end of the year.

There is a certain curiousity for the Oscar winners, but probably less than some seem to expect, especially considering the theater counts and so on.

Even if those get expanded out of a very limited earlier releaase, the cinemas have to get a bit of time to let the people in their region know about that = don't expect too much too early and be aware about some nominees/winners already had their main push (2 reasons)

~ Other rules in WOM.... than a fresh release usually has

 

Forgot to add: and about how small in average the boosts seems to be = don't expect too much within a short time range, see the reasons above

Another question, I didn't look up the change date, do you happen to know ~ when that got announced ?

 

See weekened-forcast BO.com, they seem to expect far less, maybe they missed that / did the forecast before the change in theaters got announced?

I meant $20 million domestic total. If it makes $3 million this weekend then it may get there. SPC is an old school limited release distributor. They don't give big theater counts to movie and they don't spend a lot of money on P&A. They rely on WOM instead. They only have 5 $20 million+ grossing movie out of nearly 350 movies that they have released so far.
