Well, we knew it had to happen sooner or later. Yes, DS has closed in Hooksett, NH!
This week three films closed: DS (after at least 11 weeks),
The Hunger Games (after probably a lot more than 11 weeks), and
Bully (after only 1 week). They've been replaced by
Dredd,
Lawless, and
To Rome With Love. (And as a side note, I noticed that
Dredd opened in Venezuela on the same week that DS did, yet DS is beating it handily in that country because as of Box Office Mojo's latest report, DS had already grossed $1,366,662, whereas
Dredd had only grossed $426,975.)
Of course, DS could still be playing in some theater(s) that we're completely unaware of - but because we have no idea if it is or not, I'm going to close down the running countdown in the header of every page. So, contrary to the "official" run of 98 days/14 weeks, we're going to say that:
The Depp/Burton Dark Shadows played in US theaters for at least 161 days/23 weeks!!
because we know that to actually be true. And it would be nice to know how much DS has actually grossed domestically beyond the $79,727,149 "official" total (because in 9 additional weeks who knows how much more money it might have brought in - especially if it continued to play in several discount theaters and not just the one we knew of) - but I suspect we may never know that.
The Depp/Burton Dark Shadows is now out on DVD/Blu-ray!!
