Theater Counts
August 11, 2005
The Summer season starts to wind down this weekend, with the widest release, Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, arriving in just over 3,000 theaters, and Skeleton Key and Four Brothers both managing to secure a shade over 2,500 venues.
With so many movies in wide release, and none breaking records, any one of 4 movies has a realistic chance of topping the chart.
The Dukes of Hazzard starts out favorite.
