Thanks for posting the weekend numbers, madscntst.
Currently in 20th place on Box Office Mojo for the weekend, but I don't know if all the numbers are in yet.
The nice thing about Box office Mojo, as opposed to sites like boxoffice.com, is that they don't post their charts until all the numbers that are going to be reported are in. So, if you see their charts are up, you know nothing is missing.
And speaking of DS' ranking for the overall weekend, the fact that it came in 20th is actually quite interesting because over the weekend it was doing battle with
Battleship,
The Hunger Games and
Safety Not Guaranteed to see who could best whom. On Saturday DS placed 18th with $117,139, besting both
The Hunger Games and
Safety Not Guaranteed, but
Battleship bested it - on Saturday, its highest grossing day of the weekend with $156,037, it placed 20th because all three of the other films did a bit better - and on Sunday it was back to being 18th again, that time with $120,230, and managed to best both
Battleship and
Safety Not Guaranteed, though not
The Hunger Games. But in the end
Battleship and
The Hunger Games managed to make $10,074 and $3,739, respectively, more than DS to overtake it for the overall weekend. But at least it did overtake
Saftey Not Guaranteed for the overall weekend, which is something it hadn't been able to do for the past two weekends - and it also managed to best
Battleship on at least one day of the weekend, which is something DS had never done - though, of course, that's because DS has been out a week longer - and in the overall scheme of things,
Battleship isn't ever likely to gross more than DS has domestically.
One other thing I noticed is that during the weekend DS' per screen averages were the highest they've been since its 4th weekend in release for Friday and Saturday and its 3rd weekend in release for Sunday.
adding theaters definitely helped!
Yes - and adding theaters helped it to become only 1 of 3 films in the Top 20 to have a positive percentage from last weekend - a very nice +51.1%.
