DENVER, September 12, 2022— Fathom Events grossed more than $4 million dollars at the US box office this weekend, led by LIFEMARK, the inspirational true story of a young man’s journey as he sets out to meet his birth parents. The film from The Kendrick Brothers, Kirk Cameron Entertainment and Fathom Events opened Friday night for Fathom’s first-ever seven-day premiere run and reported more than $2.1 million over the weekend run. It is, so far, Fathom’s largest grossing event in 2022.
Adding to the numbers this weekend was the two-day release of AFTER EVER HAPPY (Voltage Pictures), the fourth installment in the AFTER series which grossed over $1,033,500 and STAR TREK II THE WRATH OF KHAN (Paramount Pictures), part of Fathom and Turner Classic Movies Big Screen Classics series took in over $800,000.
“We’re thrilled at the numbers we’re seeing for last week,” said Ray Nutt, CEO of Fathom Events. “They not only represent a success for Fathom and our partners, but also show the value in event cinema and what these films can offer in lieu of big, tentpole premieres – people still want to come to theaters to see good, valuable content.”
The weekend Fathom events were available in 1500+ locations. LIFEMARK alone was number 3 at the box office on Friday, September 9, number 6 on Saturday September 10 and number 8 on Sunday, September 11.
