Outlook not improving for beleaguered US movie theaters
About three quarters of the countryโs movie theaters are open, but Americans are not going back in significant numbers in the COVID-era, even with new films coming into the marketplace weekly. The faith-based โInfidel,โ which stars Jim Caviezel, did the best with $1.5 million from just over 1,700 theaters. Both played in under 500 theaters across the country and neither got much more than $200 per location. โThe Nestโ earned an estimated $62,000 from 301 locations and โThe Secrets We Keepโ brought in just under $90,000 from 471 theaters. Christopher Nolan's โTenetโ has only earned $36.1 million from North American theaters to date.
