I believe 'The old man and the gun' and 'The hate u give' are also going to be released this week.
I find it strange that studios aren't more on the ball in terms of release dates for their movies. Dates are switched often enough that I always try to ensure the release date I have from my two sources...are actually correct. Sometimes imdb.com doesn't even have a release date even though google does. Sometimes I'm just left guessing as to what the correct release date will be.
Anyway, The Hate U Give debuted at #14 this past weekend. It made $480,107 playing at 36 theatres at an average of $13,336 per theatre. Which is a good average, slightly better than A Star Is Born, which made $12,373 per theatre (but it opened in over 3,500 theatres). Venom squashed them both with a $18,884 per theatre average, easily taken the #1 spot for the weekend.
The Old Man and the Gun has been out for two weeks, moving from number 31 to number 18 this last weekend. It opened in only five theatres and this past weekend it expanded to 49 theatres. Will be interesting to see if the number of theatres continue to grow over the upcoming weeks.
