..The true story is in performance per screen where BBM is doing @ 160% of Narnia's numbers. And, Narnia is in 3600 more theaters than BBM..

I had this discussion last week when BBM was in a few dozen theaters and was pulling in $10-12K per theater. Now it's in 200+ theaters and it's pulling $2-3K per theater.

It's in enough venues now that pretty much anyone who wants to see it has a theater reasonably close. If it turns out to have some legs, it may cover the $16M production cost, or a bit over. But that remains to be seen; in its 1st week it was the #8 grossing film, now it's down to #14.

==============================================================

You directed folks to Mojo (a good site that I use in my business) for numbers and then you mis-state what's there. BBM did over $13k per theater over the weekend, not $2-3K.

I've been betting it will not return a profit and I still think that will prove to be the case. I won't see it, even if it showed up on cable for free. I hope it dies but we should deal in truth when the facts are at our fingertips.
