Thursday Night Report: New Mutants Earns $750K from Domestic Previews

August 28 Update: Disney reports this morning that The New Mutants earned an estimated $750K from domestic previews that began at 6pm Thursday night.

Comparisons may be somewhat strained at this stage for all of the reasons previously discussed in regards to the theatrical re-opening and recovery process during the era of COVID-19, including the fact that — while relatively low profile for the genre — this remains a film with inherent pent-up demand from some franchise fans.

With that caveat in mind, New Mutants‘ Thursday night take was generally in line with expectations ahead of release and in step with the last Thursday previews reported before the industry’s shutdown back in March. At the time, Bloodshot, I Still Believe, and The Hunt opened to $1.2 million, $780K, and $435K, respectively.

New Mutants‘ Thursday performance also registered ahead of other horror-thriller pics released in early 2020, such as The Turning ($425K), Gretel and Hansel ($475K), and Brahms: The Boy 2 ($375K). Compared to summer genre films, the X-Men spin-off came in north of last August’s 47 Meters Down: Uncaged ($500K).

More updates to follow throughout the weekend. Check out our earlier Weekend Forecast here.

Weekend Forecast: Solstice Studios’ Unhinged and Nolan’s Inception 10th Anniversary Event Set to Welcome Moviegoers Back to Domestic Theaters

To quote Lennon and McCarthy, it’s been a long and winding road. As of this weekend, though, major theater chains across the United States will finally be back up and running with the domestic market’s first wide release since March. Following months of speculation and delayed reopening plans, Solstice Studios’ Unhinged is the film setting the stage for more to come in the weeks and months ahead. It’s a watershed moment oft-planned by the startup distributor throughout the summer as spikes of the COVID-19 pandemic across the country resulted in multiple studio and exhibitor delays, but one that will finally come to pass — and one with significant meaning for exhibitor support. Solstice is releasing the film in 44 states, representing 70 percent of physical theaters. The total theater count is estimated at 2,000, with the expectation of adding between 200 and 300 locations on August 28 when another wave of theaters from major theaters plan to resume operations. Overseas markets have se...
