There was only one new release in the $10,000 club this week, Everybody Knows, which earned an average of $17,802 in four theaters. Last week’s winner, Never Look Away, expanded into three theaters earning an average of $12,942. The 2019 Oscar Shorts didn’t make the $10,000 club, but it did earn nearly $1 million in 270 theaters for an average of $3,476, which is a better than 30% increase compared to the previous installment and easily the best of the franchise. Granted, it was also the widest release in the franchise, but this is still a start worth celebrating.

It is a rather long list of limited releases this week, but this is a case of quantity over quality and there’s not much here to get excited about. If you are into strange films with overly long titles, then The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Big Foot should be up your alley. However, the film most likely to find an audience is 2019 Oscar Shorts.
