Per Theater Chart is Right Up the Rider's Avenue
February 21, 2007
Avenue Montaigne intersected with the per theater chart in first place with an average of $14,689 in its two theaters.
Second place went to the overall box office leader as Ghost Rider averaged $12,542 in its 3,619 theaters.
Next up was last week's winner, The Lives of Others, which showed very strong potential for mainstream success as it expanded.
Despite seeing its theater count grow from 13 to 32, it per theater average fell just 33% to $10,965.
The final film to top $10,000 was Bamako, which barely made it with $10,183.
The best of the rest was Eklavya - The Royal Guard with $690,000 in 80 theatres for an average of $8,630 (adding in Monday it took in $812,000 for an average of $10,153).
Days of Glory wasn't far behind with $20,000 in three theaters for an average of $6,479.
Other new releases were not as lucky with Close to Home pulling in $2,815 and 2006 Academy Award Nominated Short Films coming up with $2,782.
This past week also saw milestones reached for a few Per Theater Charts alumni:
