For comparison, the other higher profile indie this weekend, Sofia Coppola’s The Beguiled, brought in $240,545 in four theaters, an average of $60,136 per theater.
As you can see The Big Sick did a little better, but it’s been a good weekend for movies overall.
The Big Sick, which comes from Silicon Valley’s Kumail Nanjiani, opened in New York and Los Angeles this weekend and will be going wide in the coming weeks.
The latest box office reports from Box Office Mojo indicate that the movie made $435,000 during its opening weekend, which means it averaged $87,000 per theater.
