This has nothing to do with The Post, the numbers are the numbers and there’s plenty of places to look them up and the numbers say that Atlas shrugged all over itself, and The Conspirator really isn’t doing well either.

The spin by the Post with charged words such as "collapses", "plunged", "flop", "amateurish", "scant" and many more are not objective. In contrast, "The Conspirator" is depicted by the Post as a "decent hold" at $2,696.

In my estimation, the Post appears to be taking glee in the per-location BO dropoff without even mentioning the other factors such as the effect of the Easter weekend. A purely factual treatment without the breathless adjectives would have been preferrred (although I realize that straightforwardness is not their forte).

That’s not spin, that’s fact. They increased the number of theaters by 50% and the weekend GROSS revenue DROPPED by almost 50%. That is a collapse, a plunge and possibly a flop depending on what happens in the next few weeks.

EW was not a problem. Most films in the top 20 recorded 20-30% drop over the previous weekend

That's normal weekend to weekend.

Your Highness and Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules managed to break 50% drop by cutting the namber of theatres showing in half. Atlas Shrugged dropped close to 50% by adding 50% screens - that's not good.
