    ^^I'd say it will be able to retain well over 2,000 theatres at least through the 4th of July, its 7th week in release.

    AotC held 2,100+ through six weekends and it started out with a much lower theatre count at release plus had to face stronger competition that forced it out of theatres quicker, as well as the declining gross receipts.

    TPM held 3,000+ theatres in its sixth week and 2,000+ until its ninth weekend.

    My feeling right now is that repeat business will be incredibly high compared to that of AotC and will ultimately perform along a similar pattern of TPM.

    On a related side note:

    NEW YORK (AFP) - The latest "Star Wars" film opening this week has a dark side, according to one analysis it will cost US employers as much as 627 million dollars in lost productivity.

    Consulting firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas said the buzz around the new movie will likely prompt many people to skip work to be among the first to see "Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith."

    "Already, we were looking at huge opening weekend audiences who have long anticipated the grand finale in this 28-year journey," said John Challenger, chief executive officer of the firm.

    Challenger researchers calculated the loss from workplace absenteeism assuming that attendance on the first two days of the last in the series will at least match that of the previous Star Wars movie.

    About 9.4 million people attended "Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones" on the first two days of its release in 2002.

    Challenger researchers estimated that about 51 percent of those likely to attend the movie this week are full-time workers.

    Based on the average daily pay of 130.60 dollars, the cost in terms of lost wages and productivity resulting from 4.8 million absences would be 626,880,000 dollars.

    "Of course, these estimates are probably on the conservative side in light of the great reviews the moving is receiving. Absenteeism may even start on Wednesday for those who want to see the first screening a midnight on May 19," said Challenger.

    "There is, of course, a very positive economic impact from the movie opening. It will result in increased consumer spending on movie tickets and refreshments, increased foreign and domestic tourism, and increased business in shops and restaurants near the movie theaters."



    [face_laugh] Ok, I found that to be hilarious.

    This was in an article on cnn money. Seen stuff like it before, but still found it interesting.


    Exhibitor Relations analyzed domestic box office receipts for the initial theatrical runs of the three "Star Wars" sequels more than two decades ago. [They] found that, adjusted for increases in ticket prices, the early films pulled in $1.6 billion domestically (compared to $655 million in actual dollars).

    By way of comparison, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy sold a price-adjusted $1.1 billion in tickets domestically and the "Harry Potter" trio took in $906 million


    I say down with Titanic. It had the luxury of inflated ticket prices.
