Here's some data to bolster the fact that ININC isn't your typical platform success. Just pulling a few titles from this year

Posted by: Paul2k on Sep 10, 12:13 in response to eallensbp's post Hey Paul, what a well thought out response. Yes, you read...

Quartet took a while to expand, but in its 8th week, it finally bumped from 356 screens to 726 and saw an increase of 58% in receipts.

Mud had it's big increase from 576 to 852 in its 3rd weekend and had an increase of 17%.

Before Midnight jumped from 52 theaters to 897 with a commensurate 163% increase.

And Blue Jasmine had multiple bumps in theater count and % changes.

The trump card in using these comparisons is to point out that NONE of these movies had as strong PTAs as ININC has had in similar numbers of theaters. A PTA of 22k in 350 theaters is great. Halving that to 11k while doubling the theater count to 700 (basically meaning it held steady) is astounding.

Old news. If you read the entire article, it indicates that this was from when Scorcese was doing rounds for Hugo a few years ago. {nm} Paul2k Sep 09, 18:11

Paul2k, here is the link to an update of our conversation on ININC in this IM. Hoping you find the response adequate. eallensbp Sep 09, 20:50

Thanks for articulating your thoughts and analysis. Unfortunately, I'm not convinced by your arguments. Probably because I have my head up Paul2k Sep 09, 22:06

Hey Paul, what a well thought out response. Yes, you read my response wrong if you detected condescension or defensive posturing. More . . . eallensbp Sep 09, 22:56

Pantelion is a division of Lionsgate {nm} Moviesnob Sep 09, 23:12

BOM has a series of tables showing second weekend increases (i.e. smallest drops) for films opening with more than 600 screens. second gary Sep 10, 04:12

Good point second gary, but I got confused when you said Shrek was at #172. Granted, I clicked on Super Saturated and saw Shrek at #11. eallensbp Sep 10, 07:20

You're right, Snob. I don't know this for a fact, but Pantelion is to Lionsgate what Codeblack is to same company, I believe. {nm} eallensbp Sep 10, 07:03

Examples of movies that had second (or later) weekends greater than than the 1st (or previous) from last year include: {nm} Paul2k Sep 10, 08:30

Thanks Paul2k. That's what I was trying to establish, and of those examples you outlined ININC will outgross all of them this week. Crazy! {nm} eallensbp Sep 10, 22:55
