It keeps falling and falling and falling. Tuesday was it's worst day by far.
Averaging $96 per screen... at 5 showings a day... at $5 each...
It averaged less than 4 people per show.

I was assuming that BE would've been pulled back a few screens
after the 2nd weekend, but in fact the two weeks will be up
starting Thursday. I'm guessing that this Fri-Sat-Sun (maybe Thur)
will see the start of the reduction.

If not, someone forced a helluvua deal on the cinemas and there
will be a few complaints to Warner Bros over that.

Miraculously, it seems to be pulling $1/3m weekdays, but all I
can say about that is that the sheer number of screens is what's
making it level ride. Cut those screens by a third and by this
weekend it'll be pulling less than half.

I'm still saying it'll top out at $24m in the US.
