Per Theater Chart: Wide Releases Scare Away the Competition
June 25, 2013
You can tell it's summertime, because the two wide releases topped the per theater chart this weekend. Monsters University earned first place on both the overall chart and the per theater average chart with an average of $20,587. World War Z placed second with $18,412. Unfinished Song earned an average of $12,864 in two theaters. The only holdover in the $10,000 club was 20 Feet from Stardom, which earned an average of $10,744 in six theaters.
Most of the rest of the new limited releases did well. The Attack opened with an average of $8,784 in three theaters. A Hijacking and Somm had nearly identical average of $5,627 and $5,610 respectively. Maniac wasn't far behind with $5,571 in one theater. The only new limited release to fail to find an audience was Downloaded, which missed the Mendoza Line with an average of just $1,252 in two theaters.
This past week also saw milestones reached for a few Per Theater Chart alumni:
