Quite aware of that. My shock was moreso at the wide disparity between Dreamgirls (less than 1000 theaters) and the museum movie (more than 3500 theaters). Dreamgirls isn't Menace II Society or Stomp the Yard; it's the movie version of a popular Broadway musical.

Mostly Friday, maybe a Wednesday. So, that gave the movie time to make up for the limited screens available.
I think that $9 million is good, but when I think how much more it could have made had it been available on more screens across the country is what is shocking to me.
