With a three-theater opening November 21 in New York and Los Angeles, “Roma” earned a first-day estimated gross of $35,000-$40,000. Alfonso Cuaron’s 135-minute black-and-white Spanish-language film will now gently roll out across the country before the streaming service premieres it worldwide December 14.
Meantime, Yorgos Lanthimos’ “The Favourite” has seen multiple sellouts, with a possible total of $45,000 from seven advance preview shows in four theaters November 20-21.
Numbers like these are essential for specialized and critically acclaimed titles like these. Acclaim alone doesn’t guarantee serious awards consideration; strong audience response often makes and breaks the top titles from the plethora of new releases hitting the end of the year.
The Wednesday prior to Thanksgiving sometimes hosts one or more major platform openings, functioning like a supercharged Friday. Last year, Focus opened “The Darkest Hour” in the four theaters in the same theaters for a total of $38,000, on its way to $56 million domestic.
