The top two films on the overall chart were also the top two films on the per theater chart with Night at the Museum 2 earning an average of $13,226 while Terminator Salvation pulled in $12,056. Easy Virtue got off to a faster-than-expected start with an average $11,044, and this suggests some ability to expand.

The rest of the new releases were bundled up with Burma VJ neck-and-neck with The Girlfriend Experience ($5,554 to $5,432) and O'Horten earning a nearly identical score to The Boys: The Sherman Brothers Story ($3,117 to $2,926).

This past week also saw milestones reached for a couple Per Theater Chart alumni:

• Valentino - The Last Emperor reached $1 million after more than two months of release.
• Rudo y Cursi also reached $1 million, but it only took three weeks to get there.
