Two weeks ahead of its nationwide release, Steven Spielberg\u2019s semi-autobiographical drama \u201cThe Fabelmans\u201dA platform release was made in New York and Los Angeles this weekend. It grossed approximately $160,000 at four theaters for an average of $40,000 per screen. <\/p>\n

That figure is just a few hundred dollars above the $39,655 platform release average of Focus Features\u2019 \u201cT\u00e1r\u201d and below the $46,113 of Searchlight\u2019s \u201cThe Banshees of Inisherin.\u201d Though it isn\u2019t the best platform launch among the early Oscar contenders this awards season, Universal said that it had projected a $40,000 average for \u201cThe Fabelmans\u201d prior to release and were pleased by the film\u2019s Friday-to-Saturday drop of just 3%, signaling that the film is gaining the kind of word-of-mouth it will need in the weeks ahead. <\/p>\n

\u201cWith \u2018The Fabelmans,\u2019 Steven Spielberg has crafted one of his most personal stories yet, an incredible universal coming of age story that clearly resonated with audiences this weekend earning an A CinemaScore, 96% audience and 95% critical scores on Rotten Tomatoes and we have no doubt the film will captivate audiences throughout the holiday season,\u201d Universal\u2019s domestic distribution president Jim Orr said in a statement. <\/p>\n

In September, \u201cThe Fabelmans\u201dThe coveted audience award was won at the Toronto International Film Festival. This award is given to a film that has been nominated at least for the Best Picture Oscar 12. There have been five Best Picture winners in the past 13 years. <\/p>\n

That buzz has made Spielberg\u2019s film a key test as studios and theaters are hoping that late-year awards contenders are still a reliable moneymaker at the box office and are not relegated by the majority of moviegoers to \u201cwait until streaming\u201d status. Spielberg\u2019s previous film, \u201cWest Side Story,\u201d bombed last year with $76 million grossed globally against a $100 million budget, a victim of older moviegoer reluctance to head to theaters amidst last winter\u2019s COVID-19 Omicron variant outbreak. <\/p>\n

Universal hopes that the recent success with its George Clooney\/Julia Roberts Romcom will bring Universal more business. \u201cTicket to Paradise,\u201dIts recent global sales of $150 million against a $60m budget is a sign that older moviegoers are reacting to its efforts in releasing films tailored to their interests. \u201cThe Fabelmans\u201dIt will be released nationally on Thanksgiving weekend. Universal will also be releasing another award hopeful next weekend. \u201cShe Said,\u201dA drama that’s based on Harvey Weinstein’s New York Times investigation is expected to be less than $10,000,000. <\/p>\n

Among the holdovers: \u201cThe Banshees of Inisherin\u201dIt had a good hold when it expanded to more than 960 theaters in its fourth weekend. This added $1.7 million to the $5.8million total. United Artists\/Orion\u2019s \u201cTill\u201dThe theater count of the movie took off after its release \u201cBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever\u201dIt was increased by $618,000 to reach $8 million. <\/p>\n

Focus releases \u201cT\u00e1r\u201dAnd \u201cArmageddon Time\u201dBoth saw their totals drop below $500,000 with \u201cT\u00e1r\u201dFor $4.5 Million, $343,000 was taken from 359 theaters during its sixth weekend. \u201cArmageddon Time\u201dIt earned a weaker $352,000 from 961 theatres, making it $1.6 million after just two weekends. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
