Wes Anderson's TheFrenchDispatch sets pandemic-era record for indie box office
’s tribute to 20th-century magazines, opened at the domestic box office with a robust $1.3 million from only 52 theaters.
For platform releases like “The French Dispatch,” the key metric is per-theater average rather than overall box office tally because indie movies kick off in a handful of theaters while commercial pictures start in thousands of venues. Notably, “The French Dispatch” averaged $25,000 in ticket sales per location, marking the best per-theater average of any film opening during the pandemic.
“‘The French Dispatch’ is a jolt of electricity for the specialty box office, delivering record-breaking results in theaters across the country,” said Searchlight Pictures’ senior VP and general sales manager Frank Rodriguez. “These figures show that after a year and a half, arthouse and independent theaters have a superhero of their own in Wes Anderson. What has been doubly encouraging is the crossover results in mainstream theaters hungry for Wes’ 10th film as well.
Starring Timothee Chalamet, Frances McDormand, Benicio del Toro, Tilda Swinton and Adrien Brody, “The French Dispatch” had the biggest turnout at the Angelika in New York City, with the arthouse theater expected to pull in $100,000 in its first three days. Other theaters in which Wes Anderson loyalists bought tickets in droves include The Grove in Los Angeles, BAM in Brooklyn, Alamo Drafthouse in Brooklyn and AMC Lincoln Square in Manhattan.
