A Wednesday oddities dispatch, August 2019
A film is doing some decent business for Midweek day, and also Searchlight is opening a movie today.
Rush : Cinema Strangiato 2019 - One night only concert film featuring the band Rush is doing some really good numbers, looks like they’ve got about 500 theaters and at this point looks like a decent $1.2 million for the gig.
*Ready or Not *- Another midweek opening today, with a rare wide(ish) opening from Fox Searchlight. So either Fox Searchlight is embracing the Disney way or Disney embracing the Fox Searchlight way, similar to the eternal question: ‘is EDM the same song over and over again or a different song over and over again?’ Ready or Not opened today (and last night) on about 2000 screens, they didn’t report last night as far as I can see but figure it was a hundred grand or so. Figure it’s about $900k (including last night) give or take a hundred grand or so.
