Two Sundance alums, Hearts Beat Loud and Won\u2019t You Be My Neighbor? bonded nicely with audiences in limited release over the weekend, beginning their theatrical runs with solid numbers.<\/p>\nTwo Sundance alums, Hearts Beat Loud and Won\u2019t You Be My Neighbor? bonded nicely with audiences in limited release over the weekend, beginning their theatrical runs with solid numbers.<\/p>\n
Brett Haley\u2019s Hearts posted the higher per-theater average, debuting in four locations Friday, grossing $74,053 for an average of $18,513. Morgan Neville\u2019s Fred Rogers documentary Won\u2019t You Be My Neighbor? launched over the weekend in more than two dozen theaters, however, grossing $470K for a friendly $16,168 average, one of the best of the year for a non-fiction opening.<\/p>\n
Gravitas opened Half The Picture with an exclusive run, grossing $7,529. Last weekend\u2019s specialty topper, American Animals, added dozens of runs in its second frame, grossing $234,829. Magnolia\u2019s The Gospel According to Andr\u00e9 also expanded, taking in $43K, while the company\u2019s superstar doc RBG sets its sights on eight figures. And SPC\u2019s The Rider closed in on $2M.<\/p>\n
Hearts Beat Loud drummed up sizable audiences in its opening weekend. The Gunpowder & Sky release crooned in four theaters in week one grossing $74,053, averaging a respectable $18,513. Starring Nick Offerman and Kiersey Clemons as a father-daughter duo who bond creating music, the film is poised to show its box office chops next weekend for Father\u2019s Day. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more proud that audiences have embraced Hearts Beat Loud,\u201d noted Gunpowder & Sky CEO Van Toffler on Sunday. \u201cIt\u2019s a wonderful feel-good movie with great music, killer performances and it\u2019s a bit of an antidote to what\u2019s going on in culture right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sundance favorite Won\u2019t You Be My Neighbor?, the latest doc from Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Morgan Neville (20 Feet From Stardom), had a solid bow in 29 locations Friday to Sunday. It grossed $470K for a $16,168 per theater average. Most documentaries would welcome such a debut in far fewer theaters, though Focus Features took the doc about the iconic children television personality, Fred Rogers (aka Mister Rogers) to multiple major markets in its launch.<\/p>\n
\u201cAudiences have really responded to this film and Fred Rogers\u2019 message. It\u2019s aspirational at a time when people need it and the strong word of mouth is evident of that,\u201d said Focus president of distribution Lisa Bunnell when reporting numbers Sunday. \u201cThere\u2019s not a dry eye in the theater after seeing the amount of kindness Mister Rogers brought to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
Focus said two-thirds of the audiences \u201cwere under 45 years old and slightly over half were male at 53%.\u201d Next week, the film will expand its theater count to 100. <\/p>\n
Fellow Sundance doc RBG still gets bragging rights with a slightly higher opening PTA making a debut in dozens of locations. The Magnolia\/Participant release grossed over $578K in its opening weekend in early May in 34 theaters, averaging $17K. This weekend, the title grossed $700K in 375 theaters (an average of $1,867) bringing its cume to $9.13M.<\/p>\n
American Animals from The Orchard and MoviePass Ventures had a robust open last weekend in four locations with a gross of more than $140K (or $35,158 per run). In week 2, the Sundance premiere slowed to $234,829 in 42 runs, averaging $5,591. Its total cume is now $422,427.<\/p>\n
A Kid Like Jake spent its second frame in four theaters after an exclusive debut in New York last weekend. Starring Claire Danes, Jim Parsons, Octavia Spencer and Leo James Davis, the title grossed $4,658 for a $1,165 average and a $17,589 cume.<\/p>\n
Magnolia doc The Gospel According to Andr\u00e9 widened to 35 theaters from last weekend\u2019s 21. The doc about fashion icon Andr\u00e9 Leon Talley grossed $43K in 35 theaters, averaging $1,229. The title grossed $82K the prior weekend, averaging $4,100. It has cumed $256,874.<\/p>\n
Bleecker Street added 114 locations for On Chesil Beach in its fourth outing. In 203 theaters, the title grossed $121,410 for a mild $598 PTA, bringing its cume to just under $562K.<\/p>\n
A24 expanded First Reformed with Ethan Hawke to 334 locations vs. last weekend\u2019s 91 with modest returns. The title grossed just under $559K, averaging $1,674, bringing its cume to $1.76M.<\/p>\n
And SPC\u2019s The Rider by Chlo\u00e9 Zhao is galloping toward $2M. In its ninth weekend, the feature grossed $120,531 ($641 average) taking its total to over $1.97M.<\/p>\n
