Friday Box Office Results: 'Troy' takes top slot, 'Van Helsing' gets Staked

Posted on Saturday May 15, 2004
Filed under New Releases

If the per-screen average holds for 'Troy,' the film should rake in nearly $20 million for Friday -- definitely on par for $60 million plus for this weekend. Note the sharp decline (66%) for 'Van Helsing.' No amount of damage control could turn the tide on the bad word of mouth. 'Super Size Me' seems to be under-performing a bit too...

Chalk this one up as a victory for adult-driven films.




Comments

Defending "Super Size Me" -- Exhibitor Relations has them for the weekend at $723,000 with 113 engagements, so that early $2,049/screen ended up really being $6,398/screen. Similar for the rest of the movies in your list: Fridays tend to be not-so-great indications of the rest of the weekend's per-screen average (because the majority of the screenings in the day are during work time.)
