Did you even read the article? :-)

Because of high-ticket sales, the Phoenix theater put 'The Undefeated' on two screens during one showing to accommodate demand,
Assuming you actually want the per-screen numbers to look good, you should understand that having a single showing on a second screen does not get counted as having another screen; if it did, it would skew the numbers down artificially.

The article also said that they moved some of the showings to bigger screens to handle more people.

My original post noted that the numbers from the article in this thread included Saturday, which is why they were different than the friday-only numbers I posted.

Another freeper suggested that one of the numbers was for theaters, rather than screens, as if that would make a difference. For this movie, showing on one screen per theater (except for the one specific instance for a single showing), the per-theater and per-screen numbers would be the same. The only way they'd be different would be if the theaters were showing the movie on multiple screens.

But none of the numbers WERE per-theater, they were per-screen, or total box office (which you then divide by the number of screens to get per-screen).

It's a shame we can't have a simple discussion of the actual numbers, without people looking to pick fights over nothing.
