It's been a while since the overall box office champion topped the Per Theater Charts, but that's just what Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith did this weekend. Sith Stomps Competition on Per Theater Charts The only other film to reach the $10,000 milestone was Howl's Moving Castle, which performed admirably with $11,889 but that's not as strong a start as Hayao Miyazaki's previous film, Spirited Away. Smith earned a surprising $50 million at the box office for an average of $14,703. The overall box office champ also took top spot on the Per Theater Charts. Rounding out the $10,000 club was Junebug, which just snagged a spot with a $10,677 per theatre average.

The former film earned $780,000 in 27 theatres for a $28,904 per theatre average while the latter made $113,000 in four theatres for a average of $28,269.

So it comes as no surprise that the DVD Pick of the Week came from the TV on DVD category as Titus - The Complete Third Season was clearly the best of the bunch, although Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room - Buy from Amazon and Junebug - Buy from Amazon are also worth checking out.Ĭowboys and Virgins among WGA Nominations There are five wide releases coming out tomorrow, if you are willing to stretch the definition of wide a little bit, but of those five films only one earned a Tomatometer reading of above 50%, while the other four combined couldn't score that high.
