And by golly, Titanic was almost the biggest newbie of the weekend as I jokingly predicted yesterday. But A24's The Disaster Artist came on strong for what may be more of a mainstream offering than I would have assumed. A24's The Disaster Artist opened with a bang in 19 theaters this weekend. That positions the James Franco/Dave Franco/Seth Rogen/Alison Brie offering for a stunning $1.22 million opening weekend, which would be a splendid $64K per-theater average. Fox Searchlight opened The Shape of Water into two New York City theaters this weekend in advance of its first expansion next Friday.
