(23,796 posts)12. There's bulk tickets, sure.
But it looks to be doing steady business. Movies usually dip down a lot during the week and then bounce up for the weekend. 2016 is staying pretty steady.
And the proof is this Friday. It expanded into 600 more theaters but did just about the same as it had been.

From over $2,000 a theater last Friday to $933 this Friday? It's still doing decently, but this week will be the high point for number of theaters. It may top $20 million overall, and all for a piece of trash analysis that was debunked the instant D'Souza wrote about it in Forbes magazine 2010.
