Just wondering the same thing! And what is a good recent comparison to go by to project (loosely) a Friday or weekend #? {nm}

Closest comparison might be Watchmen given the small but dedicated niche fan base, but that film had IMAX and didn't start until midnight...

KICK did 215K (10pm+12) vs WATCH (midnights only) which did 1.36 not really a great comparison, looking for others.

Only $215k? Wow... I was only thinking WATCH would be comprable proportionally but I doubt 215k would be anywhere near 2% of the weekend.

SIN CITY was 123K but from only 14% of the sites that ran KICK ASS early shows.

My mistake, I thought that $215k total. Still, just from MTC that's a tad underwhelming if I'm understanding the SIN CITY comparison

That's all? That sounds underwhelming.

I compared a few theatres specifically to SIN CITY and they did about 90-95% of the biz of SIN CITY midnights.

But there is inflation to factor in.

Sounds good. Since it's a hard R rated film that sounds like a pretty respectable opening to me.

Just to clarify: K-A did 90-95% of SIN CITY at select theaters but the $215k was made from 14% of the total # theaters that showed SIN CITY?

Typo: I meant "but SIN CITY played in 14% of the total # of theaters of KICK-ASS". Does this mean K-A's PTA was incredibly low versus SIN?
