For the first time it looks like DS is no longer playing anywhere in my immediate area - at least according to boxoffice.com. Though I haven't tried looking on the official Web site to see if it has any listing(s) for the broader area like it did the other day for the drive-in in Methuen, MA.
I finally got around to checking out how DS' 81st day gross fared against all of this year's other films on their 81st day. It's still performing very well, coming in 7th overall, however, once again its gross came in 2nd in its theaters range. But unlike last week where
21 Jump Street bested DS by about $4,500, this week it was
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel that bested DS $47,106 vs. $40,266 - though as with last week when there were extenuating circumstances given
21 Jump Street's 74th day fell on the Memorial Day Holiday, we have to remember that
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel hadn't been playing in wide release for all of it's 81 days. That film didn't open wide until its 4th week in theaters. However, where DS still places 1st in its theaters range is with its per screen figure.
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel's per screen was $171 - whereas DS' per screen was $181 because it was playing in 54 fewer theaters.
And when it comes to overall, DS' per screen places it 5th.
And when it comes to a comparison to
Wrath of the Titans, well, what can we say because that film brought in $11,235 on its 81st day - $29,031 less than DS did. And considering that
Wrath of the Titans brought in only $44,546 for its entire Monday-Thursday period in its 12th week, it's going to be very interesting to see how much DS bests it by once yesterday's gross is released and tallied with Monday-Wednesday's grosses.
84 days 12 hours 2 minutes 46 seconds since the Depp/Burton Dark Shadows has been in release(ET)!!
