Booking is a negotiation between the distributor's goal and the theaters space and how titles are performing in a specific venue
so if a title is still in theaters and doing poorly then its moved to a smaller room and given a smaller schedule, so theater count is not a true measure of an apples to apples comparison. its depends where its playing and how often. Like FALL 2 was never given a full schedule in all theaters and probably never got to the big house or even the 2nd big house. Once a title starts moving down the list of how its performing at a specific theater, then it moves out of that theater. Maybe OAK STREET is still in theaters but its likely playing in multiplexes of 8 or more screens and in the smaller houses with a split schedule or maybe even something like 3 shows a week. PAW PATROL is going to stick around b/c you can play it one show a day at noon and it can share a split with a higher performing title that wouldnt draw at all at noon. Thats a big reason why you're seeing a difference in the averages but not the screen count.

you'd know a lot more than me on the subject, but it seems like there would be strategy to re-expand a film like this? Sep 15, 14:08

something I didn't really much think about that. btw, I did see DStars in IMAX and it was worth the time to do so. Sep 15, 16:47
