Per Theater Charts are Dhoomed!
November 28, 2006
Volver returned to the top of the per theater charts for the third time in its four week run.
Over the 3-day portion of the weekend it earned an average of $17,071 in its 30 theaters and the movie is on pace to top Talk to Her as the biggest grossing film in Pedro Almodovar's career.
Second place went to Dhoom 2: Back in Action with a very impressive average of $15,540 in 63 theaters.
Even if the film sees the usual step drop-off for niche market films, the distributor has to be happy with its run. The History Boys didn't make history, but they did earn $100,000 in 7 theaters over the weekend for an average of $14,400.
The final film to make it into the $10,000 club was Two or Three Things I Know About Her with $10,764 in its lone theater.
The rest of the new limited releases finished well back, led by Abduction: The Megumi Yokota Story earning $5,034 in one theater. But that was miles ahead of Backstage's $1,010 and Opal Dream's $679.
This past week also saw milestones reached for a couple Per Theater Chart alumni:
