Other Crap

Weekend Box Office Results, April 28-30, 2006

• The story of the week, in general is that the three biggest new releases underperformed.
• The surprise is that the new release which was expected to bomb did not. Stick It finished second in revenues per screen, and third overall - within a hair's breadth of second.
• The weekend was soft. In the last three weekends, the Top 12 have gone from $110 million to $100 to $90, while their edge over last year has gone from 48% to 22% to 12%. The decline is expected to reverse next weekend with the release of MI3, which should stack up some big numbers against a weekend which was weak last year.
