This past week also saw milestones reached for a few Per Theater Charts alumni:

• The Band's Visit has peaked at the box office, but the didn't stop it from reaching $2 million since last week. And if it continues these soft declines, it will easily reach $3 million.
• The Counterfeiters also made it to $2 million since last week, and it should also reach $3 million before long.
• Thanks in part to expansion, Under the Same Moon topped $5 million over the weekend and is tracking to surpass $10 million.
• Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure has shown renewed strength recently and that helped it hit $10 million.
