Blockbusters Dominate Per Theater Chart

July 7, 2010

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse not only led the way on the overall chart, but also topped the per theater chart with an average of $14,510 over three days and $18,719 over four. The second placed film overall, The Last Airbender, was second on the per theater chart as well with an average of $12,725 over three days and $16,347 over four. Cyrus expanded to 77 theaters, and earned an average of $10,058 / $14,209, which was enough to reach the top ten on the overall four-day chart. Finally, Toy Story 3 missed the $10,000 club over the three-day weekend with an average of $7,517, but made it there when you add in Monday with an average of $10,689.

We only have box office numbers for one other new limited release, Love Ranch, which started with an average of $4,020 / $5,487.

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

• I Am Love reached its first milestone over the weekend and it should have no trouble getting to its second before too long.
• Cyrus also reached $1 million over the weekend and it will get to $2 million within a day or so.
• Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work hit $1 million before the weekend and it is already more than halfway to $2 million.
