Adam Arrives First on Per Theater Chart
August 4, 2009
Summer might be ending, but that doesn't mean there isn't a lot of activity on the per theater chart. Placing first was Adam with an average of $17,094 in four theaters. This suggests at least some potential to expand. The same can be said of The Cove and its average of $14,410; however, as a documentary, there is a lower upper limit to its box office potential. Thirst was right behind with an average of $13,972, which is better than Let the Right On In opened with. Finally, (500) Days of Summer remained in the $10,000 club for one more week with an average of $10,439 in 266 theaters.
There were quite a few new releases that also did well at the box office, starting with Gotta Dance with $8,576 in one theater. Flame & Citron was also strong with $7,627 while You, The Living was close behind with $6,924. Both Lorna's Silence at $5,735 and If I Die Tonight at $4,823 did well during their respective openings. Not Quite Hollywood was not quite a hit opening with just $4700 in two theaters for an average of $2,347. On the other hand, it was miles ahead of Ghosted, which opened with $980 in one theater, and Act of God, which opened with $522, also in one theater.
This past week also saw milestones reached for a few Per Theater Charts alumni:
