Weekend Box Office Results, April 14-16, 2006
  • The box office maintained its immense increase over the previous year, as the top twelve finished 48% ahead of the same group in the equivalent weekend last year. That came on the heels of 40% and 33% increases in the previous two weeks.
  • Scary Movie performed well, as expected, and Thank You For Smoking also did well in limited release, finishing 3rd in "revenues per screen," behind only Scary Movie and Ice Age.
  • The disappointment among new/expanded releases was The Wild, which did considerably worse than expected, perhaps influenced by reviews which were generally unfavorable and took note of its similarity to Madagascar.
