Amazing numbers from Heaven is for Real. And I'm glad Only Lovers Left Alive grabs 4 more PTA points.

Unfortunately, Fading gigolò wasn't in the game. It would have been one of the few limited films sure of making a good amount of PTA.

I think that the biggest problem is that people perceive Depp as having way more drawing power than he actually ever had

After pondering...I think you nailed it on the head w/ this. Agree 100%

Didn't Island of Lemurs nab 1 PTA point last weekend, and not A Haunted House 2?

[Shrykespeare]

Yeah, but for whatever reason, Island of Lemurs was completely removed from the game. If you go on the game site, you won't find it on a single slate. Therefore I had to reallot the PTA points from 4/4 and ignore it on 4/11.
