Silence earned $64K in 4 theaters for a one-day PTA of $16K
Patriots Day earned $52.5K in 7 theaters for a one-day PTA of $7.5K
Fences earned $26K in 4 theaters for a one-day PTA of $6.5K



Based on these numbers, it's looking like the PTA will fall like this for the weekend:

5 - Silence
4 - Patriots Day
3 - Fences
2 - Rogue One
1 - La La Land

Unless, of course, the Sunday debuts upstage this.

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

Just missing were Sing (6), Live By Night (7), La La Land (8), A Monster Calls (9) and Toni Erdmann (10).

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.

No column this week because no movies, so:
