Not one movie made it to the $10,000 per theatre average, although a few came close. The debut of Along Came Polly came in first with $9,290 per theatre, while the second weekend for The Battle of Algiers was just behind with $9,240 per theatre. Perhaps the best performance was by Girl with a Pearl Earring, which saw an increase in both theatre count and per theatre average.

This past week also saw some milestones reached for several Per Theatre Charts alumnus:

Since last weekend, Monster more than doubled its total box office hitting $3 million.
The Cooler also crossed $3 million, but did in a less dramatic fashion.
It took nine weeks but 21 Grams hit $10 million this week.
