Okay, yeah.. 29 – not a pretty impressive number if you’re looking in so far as “the top three” go, but much more impressive if you’re counting how many 12 ounce steaks you can eat in one sitting. ..what?.. I think my point was “It’s all about perspective”. But my analogy sucked. Anyhow…
This past weekend, while the huge top 5 Blockbuster movies were being blared from 16,000 of the largest screens on the planet, raking in more money per hour than I’ll ever be worth in my life, and taking in an average of 7,500 dollars per screen, Napoleon Dynamite quietly slipped onto only 6 screens nation wide. SIX. That’s it. However – here’s the magic kids: Mr. Nap managed to pull in $116,666 dollars… or an average of 19,444 dollars PER SCREEN. — That’s nearly triple the attendance of the big boys. Not too bad for a guy that would only last about 3 or 4 minutes in prison.
Kinda like me.
Never Mind.
