Author Topic: Single Screen Dilemma 2006: James Bond or Happy Feet? Scott Jentsch Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1061 From: New Berlin, WI, USA Registered: Apr 2003 posted 11-21-2006 03:41 PM                        I'm glad to hear that Happy Feet worked out for you, Mike. You have a good point about kids' seats vs. adults in regards to ticket prices. When looking at the box office numbers, I think it's important to keep in mind that the number of screens for Happy Feet was greater. From Box Office Mojo: Happy Feet: $41.5M 3,804 screens = $10,918 average Casino Royale: $40.8M 3,434 screens = $11,890 average Both factors just illustrate why box office numbers can be misleading. Kids admission is lower, and the saturation of a release both affect the total box office draw. I'd be curious to see actual attendance totals for each.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 11-23-2006 01:53 AM                        Casino Royale had quite a bit longer running time too, so the number of shows per day (for many theatres) would be less than of Happy Feet.  |  IP: Logged
