Fresh product continued to dominate in a distressing exhibition market like RLJE Films’ Tax Collector roared a treasure $ 317K at 129 theaters. Tax Collector is the third new title after Universal / DreamWorks Animations Trolls World Tour and IFCs The rental to top the box office since the pandemic began in mid-March.
We’ll be sure tomorrow which movie is number 1, but it looks like Tax Collector can assess that fine. Disney’s 20th Century Studios’ Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back on the charts at 260 sites, and their Friday-Saturday haul of $ 174K indicates it’s on track for a No. 2 ranking $ 225K- $ 240K reach. Episode VThe estimated life stage is $ 292.1M.
The David Ayer directed action thriller follows David (Bobby Soto) and Creeper (Shia LaBeouf) who are ‘tax collectors’ for the crime Mr. Wizard, and collects his cut from the profits from the illegal association of local gangs. But when Wizard’s old rival returns from Mexico to Los Angeles, the company is revived, and David finds himself desperate to protect what makes him more than anything else: his family.

This increases IFC’s cumulative office space during the pandemic of its new titles to $ 4M +. IFC also had the James D’Arcy directed Liam Neeson comedy Made in Italy who made $ 34.4K at 111 pages, and he ranks among the top 2 photos on iTunes that take the No. 1 spot on the comedy, drama and romance charts.

I also opened this weekend Train to Busan Presents Peninsula in Canada with 47 runs and a Friday-Saturday takeover from $ 83K (weekend will probably land in the low $ 100K).

Again, the major circuits are still not open for now (Cinemark has sites open in the Dallas area), with AMC, Regal and Cinemark making a comeback next weekend.
