The box office theater number is false. It was shown in way more than two yesterdays, I'm in MA and it was in Boston commons, Framingham and a few other AMCs yesterday here.

Even your paragraph contradicts the "two theaters"

"GKIDS screened the film on October 4 in New York and Los Angeles, and then on October 6 and 7 more widely in North America"

Judging by how the viewing I attended on Sunday (not at the initial two theaters) was almost completely full, the figures on Sunday should be a lot higher than that. Maybe the box office numbers for Sunday only count the initial two theaters.

The "two theaters" comment was for Friday specifically; it wasn't meant to include yesterday.

The theater I went to yesterday had two showings of it that each had only one or two seats unclaimed, so people definitely knew about it.

It was sold out within days here in the Midwest.... I hadn't even seen advertisements until after it was already sold out. Usually we don't get anime films at all. I really hope they get more screenings

They also said you should contact your local theater and demand screenings. https://www.instagram.com/p/DA1DEsaud5H/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Info got updated @ [url]https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Look-Back-(2024-Japan)#tab=box-office[/url]

$688,253 is the currently figure. 535 theaters listed for October 6 (screenings later today will likely the same/similar number of theaters).

Yeah, I also hope it gets more screenings. It seems to be only a Monday evening screening here in Ottawa as well and I'm definitely not feeling up to going down to the South Keys Cineplex tonight.
