BTW, if we pulled 4.7M on 1600 screens, then on 2600 screens we should have pulled 7.6M

Not necessarily, sometimes people travel a distance to see a film, and in other cases it is showing on more that one screen in the same cineplex. For example my wife, and our friends and I traveled about 100 miles to see it. They had it on one screen while a couple of the other films were on 2 screens.

It probably would have increased revenues, but not by quite that much.

i agree.. given the number of theaters ..i think its doing great..and its just the first of many.. that latest book aquisition has a major character actors name writen all over it.. a hopkins as the mentor would be great.. i think that the long term internet plan just has to be to get control over good movies that will be seen on the internet as soon as the bandwidth will allow it.. i have a program " admitedly expensive" 6k usd, that will allow me to view up to a tera byte image on the net, and can have 2k people online at a time.. when this compresion is put in a chip and put ona vidio board it can live decode 30 frames per sec at dvd resolution... the point is that the tech is comming to the market, and mvee will own the movies ..imo
