I am shocked St Vincent is beating Whiplash in the PTA battle.

[Shrykespeare]

Yeah, but with St. Vincent going semi-wide next week, I wouldn't count on any more PTA. Whiplash may repeat.

Should do. It's opening in 15 or so more theatres next week, so should be good for some PTA, although behind Birdman and possibly some of the wide releases.

And bizarrely enough it's Addicted that got 3 PTA points this weekend, pushing Alexander out of that last spot.

[Shrykespeare]

Damn, you're right. I will correct that above.

Unfortunately, thenumbers doesn't have the ability to sort the box office results by PTA like BOM does. Thank God BOM is back!

[Chienfantome]

I'm still shocked about it. I thought Whiplash was be in the $50,000 PTA area, I'm really disappointed.

I was secretly hoping Whiplash numbers would inexplicably be much higher than what was first announced... they're even lower.
