While this is a huge win for Fathom Events, which specializes in special theatrical screening events (old movies, operas, pre-release preview screenings, etc. Oh, and their one-night showing of BBC’s Doctor Who: Day of the Doctor in late 2013 netted $4.7m. And no, I don’t think the fight did that much damage to the overall domestic box office. It’s not like Leap, Birth of the Dragon and All Saints would have been big events absent a big fight and a big hurricane. An August lacking in big releases and a pre-Fall fast on major newbies was always going to result in a week or two of terrible box office.
