The most recent beneficiary is Universal and Blumhouse’s The Invisible Man remake, which just broke an unlikely box office record, and it’s one that may never be broken again.
Playing on just 147 screens, The Invisible Man earned $383,000, which was good enough to top the box office over the weekend.
Another noteworthy element to this is the fact that The Invisible Man, and all of the other movies on the box office charts currently, are available on home video.
The Invisible Man topped the domestic charts during its debut weekend in release when it initially arrived back in February 28.
