"The Runaways" earnings per theater jump

Entertainment Weekly

This was supposed to be the weekend that Floria Sigismondi’s music biopic “The Runaways,”  starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, was supposed to expand to 1,000+ screens.  Instead, and potentially due to a good-not-great first few weekends in limited release, the film went to 204 screens across North America (up from 84 last weekend).  The result was actually something distributor Apparition should be quite happy with.  Grossing $470,000, “The Runaways” saw its per-theater-average boost up from $2,173 to $2,304 despite the screen jump.  That brought its total to $2,517,000.

  1. Some of your readers may find my recent radio show, Tribute To The Runaways, an interesting listen. It explores the band's music, solo music and bands that have benefited from their groundbreaking work. It can be streamed for free at http://www.neatnetnoise.com.
