Per Theater Chart Goes Crazy
November 1, 2011
Like Crazy was the only film to reach the $10,000 mark on the per theater chart, but was stellar with an average of $30,785 in four theaters. Its reviews suggest it will be able to expand somewhat, but it's a little too weak to be an Awards Season player. While it didn't get to the $10,000 mark, Ra. One came relatively close to reaching the top ten with $1.65 million in 189 theaters over the weekend for an average of $8,751. That's amazing for this type of film and it deserves a special mention.
The other new limited releases were led by Inni with an average of $4,963 in three theaters. Anonymous opened with more than $1 million, but it was playing in 265 theaters for an average of $3,856. Given its reviews, its per theater average, and its current theater count, it has little room to expand. My Reincarnation was relatively close behind with an average of $3,249. The Double had a single-digit Tomatometer score, which obviously had a negative impact on the film's opening. It debuted in 11 theaters and earned an average of just $2,422. Sidewalls missed the Mendoza Line with $1,304 in its lone theater over the weekend and $1,734 since Wednesday. All's Faire in Love was a disaster earning under $18,000 in 75 theaters for an average of $237. Had the film been playing in just seven theaters, then that would have still been a slow start.
This past week also saw milestones reached for a few Per Theater Chart alumni:
