why, and how can youn say that the movie bombed so badly. that is so stupid. 1500 per screen might not be a screaming success, but it certainly isnot sooo bombed.

It is basically done in theaters. Maybe 90 next weekend.

We think it's possible that the film's run will be extended in about 90-to-100 of these initial locations, and that over the next few weeks, about 50 new sites will open the film

... and speaking of which... here's a quick primer for those of you that are unfamiliar with the metrics for success in theatrical distribution. Let's randomly pick a location where ON ANY SUNDAY appeared last weekend and break out the overall attendance. In Nashville, at the Regal Opryland Theatre, ON ANY SUNDAY was the #8 top grossing screen (out of 20) and was the # 6 film behind INTERSTELLAR, BIG HERO, OUIJA and NIGHTCRAWLER. So at this location, the title was in the upper 50% range, but not by a big margin. Total admissions were 299 tickets for a gross of $3,179. Some shows were poorly attended - which was true for all but the top two films - and some shows had a decent crowd. Average evening shows were about 30 persons. Generally speaking, the Monday-thru-Thursday opening midweeks are 10% of the weekend's gross... which in this case would be about $300 per day for four days. The second weekend will probably hold at about 70% of the first weekend (although nationwide, due to loss of screens, the drop off for week # 2 is generaly 50% or greater). So if these industry trends hold true at this location, by Thursday, Nov. 20, the title would be at $7,400 for that one theatre. Not a huge amount, but all those $7,400 grosses do add up to a decent result with all of the other locations.
