Tár by Todd Field opened last week to a hefty $40,000 per theater average in four locations. It expanded to 36 theaters in 13 markets Friday and posting a solid $10,000 per theater average for a total weekend gross of $36,000 and a running domestic cume of $585,000.
Certified fresh with a 94% on Rotten Tomatoes and an audience score of 78%, it opened in the top spot at the Alamo Mission in SF, the Music Box in Chicago and the Varsity in Toronto. It was the top film on Saturday at Lincoln Square, in its second weekend there. Next week, it expands to 25 total markets in about 100 theaters.
“We’re in this corridor where there have not been a lot of mainstream blockbusters coming out, but in the specialty world now, there are blockbusters,” said Paul Degarabedian, Comscore senior media analyst. There are more specialty films, they are doing well on a per-theater basis. And they are showing that independent film in theaters is important. It isn’t just for streaming. These movies deserve and should have their time on the big screen.
