Blockbusters Battle on Top of Per Theater Chart

May 27, 2009

The top two films on the overall chart were also the top two films on the per theater chart with Night at the Museum 2 earning an average of $13,226 while Terminator Salvation pulled in $12,056. Easy Virtue got off to a faster-than-expected start with an average $11,044, and this suggests some ability to expand.

The rest of the new releases were bundled up with Burma VJ neck-and-neck with The Girlfriend Experience ($5,554 to $5,432) and O'Horten earning a nearly identical score to The Boys: The Sherman Brothers Story ($3,117 to $2,926).

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

• Valentino - The Last Emperor reached $1 million after more than two months of release.
• Rudo y Cursi also reached $1 million, but it only took three weeks to get there.
