peludo Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 ^For sure. BOM has not complete data about Jaws but OW was 7 million, it dropped a 3.6% in 2nd, a 5.4% in 3rd and a 7.6% in 4th weekend. Later, 6th weekend was bigger than 4th. Other times... http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=weekend&id=jaws.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tufftuff Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 http://boxofficemojo.com/alltime/weekends/moreweekends.htm?page=12&p=.htm You can calculate from here. One of the best of the modern era is Silver Linings Playbook. x298 from limited opening and about x30 from wide release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incarnadine Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Mojo's your friend. But off the top of my head, in the modern era ('90s onwards): Sixth Sense, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Titanic... I was thinking of those too, as well as Avatar, obviously. Also, going from memory when I compared their runs, Bridesmaids and The Help were both over 6x their opening weekends.

Incarnadine Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Films that opened small but got an Oscar boost usually have impressive legs. Shakespeare In Love is a good example, it opened wide (after opening limited on 8 screens and made a bit more than 10 mil before opening wide) to $4,224,426, it ended 33 weeks later at $100,317,794 about $90 million, or a bit more than 21x from it's wide opening. It's biggest weekend came after it won best picture, about 10 weeks after it first opened limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tufftuff Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Also movies with high multipliers that aren't sequels make the theaters the most money. The theater gets a higher percentage the longer it plays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantCALBears Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 It started limited so it isn't really a fair comparison. How that PoS made so much dollar I have no idea.But it only had a true wide release half way in for a few weeks so hard to categorize it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
