Searchlight Pictures' comedy Theatre Camp held up well during a big weekend of box office receipts from Barbie and Oppenheimer.
Molly Gordon and Nick Lieberman Sundance-winner (U.S. Dramatic Special Jury Award for Ensemble) expanded to 10 markets/51 theaters, from six venues in New York and Los Angeles on opening weekend, grossing approximately $266,000 for an average per screen of $5,200. This follows a notable opening last week when Ben Platt and Gordon-starred sported a PSA of $50.2k – Searchlight's biggest PSA for a limited opening since Jojo Rabbit in 2019. It will move to 35-40 more markets next week, hitting 600-800 locations by August.
New markets this week include Austin, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Phoenix, San Francisco, Washington, D.C. and Toronto, with The Metreon in San Francisco, Boston Commons, Camelview Scottsdale and Alamo Sloans Lake in Denver among the top locations.
Exit polls from AMC Boston Common, AMC River East 21 (Chicago), Regal Irvine Spectrum (LA), AMC Garden State 16 (NY), Harkins Camelview and AMC Metreon, received ratings and recommend scores of 70% "excellent", 23% "very good", and 93 % "total positive". Some 80% "recommend without hesitation" - and more than half to see it "right away".
He continues to play well at women (53%) and under 35 (60%). Demos are 75% Caucasian, 14% Hispanic, 12% Asian, and 3% Black/African American. 37% identify as LGBTQ+.
Searchlight said many discovered the film via social media, with filmmakers and actors winking at it from their own Barbie boxes. The distributor has worked with a mix of youth camps and classes in various arts, college theater groups, improv groups and public theater groups like the Center Theater Group in Los Angeles and the Theater Club and Tisch New Theater in New York City, to promote and sell tickets, including shows with free popcorn and Theater Camp t-shirts.
Also screened as an official SXSW selection in the Narrative Feature section.
Lifelong best friends and drama instructors to save their beloved drama camp in New York City's update from a clueless tech-bro running it into the ground.
There haven't been many new openings on the specialized front, and smaller films don't always pay off on Sundays. Specialized Extensions: Sony Pictures Classics The Miracle Club
