In the first weekend of limited release Mozart and the whale
was on 5 screens in Portand earning $19,600, an average of almost $4000
per screen.
If this average were to be extrapolated to a nationwide release over
say 3000 theatres it would be like a $12 million dollar opening weekend. It doesnt
sound like much but considering the movie only cost $10 million to make....that
aint bad.
Like I said this is very much a word of mouth film.
