Hopefully this means October will be able to continue 2018’s winning ways. Granted, it lost ground when compared to last September, but last September broke records, and this September held on better than expected. The Nun beat expectations to become a $100 million hit, while there were also several midlevel hits in the mix. September turned out to be a solid month.

While we don’t have a reported number for Those Who Wish Me Dead yet, estimates have the film opening in around 2,900 locations. Rounding out the new wide releases is Those Who Wish Me Dead and Finding You, with the latter playing in 1,312 locations. Also new this week is Profile, the thriller from Focus Features, which debuts in 2,033 theaters. The latest film from the Saw franchise, starring Chris Rock, Max Minghella and Samuel L. This week was more of an unknown as we see the debut of Lionsgate's Spiral. The other, Here Today, was never going to challenge for widest release, or at the box office. Wrath of Man entered last week’s chart as one of only two new wide releases. Theater counts: Wrath of Man fends off newcomers The sheer quantity of new films makes this a challenging weekend to predict, but here’s what our model has to say… Spiral, the latest incarnation of the Saw franchise is getting the widest release, in 2,811 theaters, and by far the loudest pre-release buzz. In spite of some fairly impressive star power on display, there’s not a huge amount of doubt about which film will top the chart this weekend.

Figures will therefore fluctuate each week, and totals for individual titles can go up or down as we update our estimates.īecause sales figures are estimated based on sampling, they will be more accurate for higher-selling titles. In particular, we adjust weekly sales figures for the quarter once the total market estimates are published by the Digital Entertainment Group. We refine our estimates from week to week as more data becomes available. The consumer spending estimate is based on the average sales price for the title in the retailers we survey. The market share is converted into a weekly sales estimate based on industry reports on the overall size of the market, including reports published in Media Play News.įor example, if our weekly retail survey estimates that a particular title sold 1% of all units that week, and the industry reports sales of 1,500,000 units in total, we will estimate 15,000 units were sold of that title. Our DVD and Blu-ray sales estimates are based on weekly retail surveys, which we use to build a weekly market share estimate for each title we are tracking.
