Weekend Box Office Results

• It was a very healthy weekend for the box office, and that was unexpected. Last weekend had been down 12% from the equivalent weekend in the previous year, but this weekend was 18% better than last year's equivalent!
• Every film reached or exceeded expectations except Hostel. Many exceeded expectations by 30% or more.
• Underworld: Evolution did as well as predicted, despite some scathing reviews.
• Hoodwinked expanded to 600 more theaters, and thus performed nearly as well as it did last week.
• Transamerica and Cache turned in some solid per-screen averages in micro-distribution.
