Funny math
I was reading this column about whether the box office numbers for The Shaggy Dog were anything to be proud of for Disney. Either I'm missing something, the author made a mistake and meant "more" not "fewer", or he's an idiot...

The other thing that stings is that Disney's movie was in fewer locations than News Corp.'s exercise in gore [The Hills Have Eyes] was. That gave News Corp. an advantage in terms of per-theater revenues.
Umm, if TSD was in fewer theaters than THHE, and still made more money (estimated $16 million vs. estimated $15.5 million), than by my math, TSD did far BETTER on a per-theater basis. No?
