I think Fences and La La Land's wide Sunday may indeed affect that, and Julieta will squeeze in there somewhere.

Some films that opened this weekend could have doubled their PTA had they opened on another date. Way too crowded.

Really surprised by Hidden Figures's PTA. It made 500K in one day alone. Think I've underestimated it - could be a breakout hit.

Yeah its score is quite amazing. A 20,000+ PTA on a single day, and in more than 20 theaters. With the solid reviews and the good word of mouth, it could be a breakout hit indeed.
