Box Office Mojo -- inaccuracies in Nov. 1-3, 2024 chart

There are a couple of inaccuracies in the weekend box office chart for Nov. 1-3 at https://www.boxofficemojo.com/weekend/2024W44/ .

At #24, Luther: Never Too Much (2024) is listed as being in its 1,149th week in release. This film is not 22 years old -- it's a 2024 film in its first week of commercial release.

At #25, Juror #2 (2024) is listed as playing in 1,348 theaters, thus dragging its estimated per-theater average down to only $66. In fact, it has been widely reported that Juror #2 is getting only a limited release. See the following sources:

  • Variety: "The $30 million-budgeted film, starring Nicholas Hoult and Toni Collette, is playing in limited release on roughly 35 screens."
  • The Hollywood Reporter: "Insiders say it played in roughly 35 theaters."
  • IndieWire: "Warner Bros.’ perverse release of “Juror #2” in 31 (top) theaters with little marketing, limited press screenings, and no suggestion of awards push despite decent reviews and Eastwood’s track record saw the studio withhold gross information."

On a separate note, I see that a number of films on the weekend box office chart don't have distributors listed. In fact, three films that have grossed over $20 million this year don't have distributors listed on the annual chart, but their distributors are definitely known -- Longlegs (that's from Neon), Reagan (from Showbiz Direct), and Blink Twice (from IMDb's sister company, Amazon MGM). I recommend that Box Office Mojo make sure to find the distributors' names of films that are clearly in release from known distributors.

Hi @gromit82 -

I'm following up to confirm that the Box Office data for "Juror #2" and "Luther: Never to Much"  has now been fixed.  We are also working toward including Distributors on the list in the near future.

Thanks again for your report!
