Wow unexpectedly good decline! I thought for sure below $1M. Nice number! Isn't that fairly similar to TFA's decline for the similar day? 

 

TFA: -23.801%

R1:  -23.445%

 

For the record, TFA rose 3.85% on its equivalent Thr.  Be nice to see R1 follow suit, however unlikely.

Not as happy about the theatre count, but what's one gonna do?

 

[jj99]

No word on lion. hope its not losing theaters again this weekend

[JonathanLB]

I'm always pissed about theater counts lol I've learned it just seems to work that way. I'm more than anything confused because it must mean there are a TON of dinky theaters? I don't get it. Every theater near me is 8-18 screens. Like hell they would be dumping a top 5 movie lol not a chance.

 

Only two movies are opening, xXx and Split, honestly how is Rogue One losing basically any theaters?! Shouldn't that be Passengers, Underworld, Moana, FB, I don't know, crap like that? 

[babz06]

How did Paramount get Silence in over 1500 theaters after last weekend dismal expansion?

Rogue One is reaching the point of removal for a lot of theaters. My 12 screen AMC is putting it in their second smallest auditorium this upcoming week. It also doesn't help that Rogue One can only have 3 showtimes at many theaters during the week due to its length.

So let me get this straight

 

The Founder - 1100 theaters

Silence - 1580 theaters

Gavin Stone - 887 theaters

 

Why are two out of three theaters near me showing Gavin Stone and none are showing Silence or The Founder???

 

I hate this place.

Passengers is a great movie and has been holding well. Unfortunately, some movies that have NOT been holding well haven't run their two weeks yet, and studios are pushing Oscar hopefuls back into theaters as well, so Passengers is losing a ton of theaters.

[JonathanLB]

I've never seen anywhere only showing Rogue One 4 times per day near me. In fact they were fitting in 5 early on. Now it's 4 though. Standard show times just like every other movie, it's not long. 1-4-7-10 basically. 

[Arlborn]

Holy crap, that A Monster Calls theater loss is monstrous! It never had a chance.

Wow, it has a 97.2% drop. 1,513 to 42. I thought that it would at least have 100 by this point...

My AMC's schedule has been 11:35, 2:45, and 6:00 as of late on weekdays. 8:30 is usually the latest shows start, so it's impossible to get more than 3 showings in.

There are a number of IMAX screens that are not located in multiplex buildings. They will be switching from Rogue One to XXX this week. So technically it's only one screen lost but it's also a theater lost as well. Bob Bullock Museum IMAX in Austin is an example.

Wait where do you live?! The late movies here start between maybe as early as 9:10 and as late as 10:45. I'm seeing Rogue One at 10:25 tonight. I've never heard of a place where the last showing is like 8 p.m., I would hate that. I'm a late night person, I have no use for any showing before noon or even at noon, but I typically go to the 10 p.m. showings of most movies because the people with work early the next day don't show up. I don't think I've ever lived anywhere though where the last showings weren't around 10 p.m. give or take 45 minutes.

 

EDIT: Florida...? Ok remind me not to move to Florida, wow. Too many old people?

I don't live in a big city. In Orlando, there are plenty of late showings, but in a city with a population around 20k, do you really think late showings on a weekday are profitable for the theater? The company would have to pay the staff a few extra hours, and the payoff would almost never be justified. Now, during peak periods like the summer and holidays, there are plenty of late showings because some of the biggest demographics are available.

Edited January 20, 2017 by WrathOfHan

[JonathanLB]

That makes more sense. Yeah one of my best friends is a radiologist in Orlando, and I assume a big city is just the same almost anywhere. But in a smaller town, it wouldn't make much sense I suppose. 

 

I've never lived in a small town really, I guess I "lived" in Corvallis for college, kind of, with a population of 50,000 and mostly college kids, but I drove home every weekend basically and went to Portland for any vacation period. Then I moved to Los Angeles for a while, the ultimate big city, so I've never been anywhere that wasn't big enough for late shows. I don't think I'd be happy anywhere that small! lol.

[AniNate]

Carmike Solon doesn't do late showings on school nights. Kinda sucked because I usually work second shift and almost never could take advantage of their discount nights.

 

Looks like the closest theater to where I'm now living does, though.

Are you rich? I lucky if I get to see a film at least once these days in the cinemas. 

[stripe]

1M for R1? 

 

Never ceases to amaze me, the staying power of SW.

 

Now there is just a chance it reaches 38 days grossing over 1M. TFA had 46 days over 1M. TDK had 40M.
