Re: If a movie doesn’t earn a 100% return on its cost on the first night...its a failure.

That's news to me.

The producers only get 50% of ticket sales in the USA, so that's a pretty high bar to jump over.

Also, most films open on Friday. Saturday night, and often Sunday generate higher sales than Friday, especially if the word-of-mouth is good.

Foreign revenue on this is hard to estimate.

If it's strictly about Teddy, foreign revenue will be low, but if it focuses on the Kennedy family, it might surprise to the upside.

1,560 USA theaters is not that much

Will they increase theater count later on?
