Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Where?

Unless it catches fire on word of mouth it'll pretty much be out of first run theaters by the end of May. It'll probably be starting to kick around second run by then.

It didn't open wide but the second weekend upped the screens by 50% and the per screen average dropped to a pedestrian $3,700.

There are going to be quite a few big opening action movies opening in the next month, all fighting for screens and, to a large degree, the same audience.

You might be able to find it (and maybe word of mouth will kick in), but I wouldn't count on it.

To give a sense, my local multiplex s currently showing 21 different movies. Only three of which have been out for six weekends (which would be necessary for Hot Fuzz to make the end of May). Wild Hogs and 300 are hits. Meet the Robinsons is only getting afternoon screenings for the kids. And it isn't nearly so crowded now as it will be in a month.
