News Stories About Ghosts of the Abyss

IMAX - International Edition 2005-02-27 IMAX numbers are hard to find, for international IMAX number it's doubly so. Working on the international numbers I was able to come across box office figures for half a dozen IMAX films from four markets.
Alien Sees Sustained Growth 2005-02-23 For the second week in a row Aliens of the Deep saw a week to week increase. This week it was a modest 2.14% increase, but that does suggest there's room for its theatre count to grow.	Aliens Sink Faster than Expected 2005-02-08 After starting out slower than expected last weekend, Aliens of the Deep sank a little faster than expected this weekend, falling by nearly 24%. That's twice as steep as Ghosts of the Abyss's dropped during its second weekend of release, and nearly three times as fast as NASCAR: The IMAX Experience.	Aliens' Success is not as Deep 2005-02-02 The latest edutainment film hit IMAX screens over the weekend, but the results for Aliens of the Deep were mixed. Its per theater average of $17,754 was the best of the weekend and beat James Cameron's last IMAX venture, Ghosts of the Abyss. However, that film played in more than 3 times the theaters. Compared to NASCAR: The IMAX Experience, Aliens of the Deep earned a weaker per theater average, while playing in less than half the theaters.
DVD Releases for April 27, 2004 2004-04-26 Every week films get a second chance at success from the home market; or, in some cases, a first chance at success. Here is a list of wide releases, limited releases and a few from the growing TV on DVD section. A couple of selections caught my eye this week, Love Actually - (Buy from Amazon) and Kids in the Hall - Season 1 both of which are my DVD pick of the week.	IMAX Update 2004-03-11 Several readers have written in and asked why the story in front of the IMAX top five hasn't been updated in over a year. There are two answers to this question. Firstly, the IMAX Corporation stopped publishing separate IMAX figures for movies released both in IMAX and regular format. This meant that for the biggest IMAX releases of the year, (Ghosts of the Abyss, The Matrix Reloaded, etc.) there were no box office figures. No box office figures, no box office news.

This weekend none of the new films opening wide, or in limited release were able to do much on the per theater average chart. This allowed Winged Migration to claim top spot again despite a very large drop in its average. The Oscar-nominated documentary earned less than its opening weekend despite doubling it’s theater count to 2. However, it’s per theater average of $15,901 was still tops this week. Cremaster 3, with $11,047 in its only theater, and Ghosts of the Abyss with a little more than $1 million in 97 theatres were the only other two films to average more than $10,000 per theatre this week.

Next week, expect X-Men 2 to lead not only the total box office, but the per theater average as well.
