SPEARE'S TIPS - The Films of 10/28/11

[BanksIsDaFuture]

I'm not sure how wide MMMM expanded, but a PTA of only $7,000 in limited release for an Oscar movie is no good.

It expanded to around 30 theatres I believe. $7000 PTA for a film like that in its second week isn't bad, but I can't see it earning any more PTA points from next week.

[Ron Burgundy]

agreed

This is from ComingSoon:

Also in limited release, Drake Doremus' Like Crazy (Paramount Vantage) opened in four theaters in New York and Los Angeles where it brought in $120 thousand in its opening weekend.

So, in 4 theaters, Like Crazy looks like it got a PTA of $30K.

According to TheNumbers, Like Crazy had a PTA of $30,000

That would make (so far) the PTA allotment as follows:

5 points - Like Crazy, $30,000
4 points - Puss in Boots, $8,603
3 points - Martha Marcy May Marlene, $7,517
2 points - Paranormal Activity 3, $5,566
1 point - The Skin I Live In, $5,498

[Chienfantome]

I was hoping Martha Marcy May Marlene would be ahead of Puss in Boots on the PTA front...

Well, the good news is, BOM is back up. The bad news is, the weekend updates are not complete. For example, Martha Marcy is not even on the board. However, the standings ARE complete at TheNumbers.com, so from that I can determine the final points allocation for this weekend.


Top 10:
5 points - Puss in Boots, $34.1M
4 points - Paranoram Activity 3, $18.1M
3 points - In Time, $12.1M
2 points - Footloose, $5.5M
1 point - The Rum Diary, $5.1M
Real Steel, $4.8M
Three Musketeers, $3.5M
Ides of March, $2.8M
Moneyball, $2.4M
Courageous, $1.8M

PTA:
5 points - Like Crazy, $30,785
4 points - Puss in Boots, $8,623
3 points - Martha Marcy May Marlene, $7,757
2 points - The Skin I Live In, $5,829
1 point - Paranormal Activity 3, $5,450


I will announce who is (most likely) out of the Super Leagues on the Super Leagues thread.
