Because HSX looks at the numbers of limited's that expand wide. The average four weekend takes of that type of release is "(3.0* WE)+prev.

Posted by: Catzan on Nov 21, 10:40 in response to adrenalin112's post IF it ever expands, can you explain to me the reasoning...

Movies like that generally have much better word of mouth (Slumdog) and better legs than typical wide released flicks.

Anyone notice ERC's early estimate of 10m for Precious...that's over $16000 per its 629 theaters. And the box office ever expands. =) Catzan Nov 21, 10:05

IF it ever expands, can you explain to me the reasoning why limited to wide expansions get s 3.0x plus previous adjust? {nm} adrenalin112 Nov 21, 10:19

In holdover sites it is dropping fairly fast however. {nm} notfabio Nov 21, 11:07

But it will go wide, right? I mean, it is 21 theaters away from HSX wide now as it is. {nm} Catzan Nov 21, 12:56

Not many days ago, D.Mac said he last heard it would expand to 1000-1200 theaters on 25/11 (link) Facto Nov 21, 14:18

I was being vaguely rhetorical but wondering if there was new info post-D.Mac since Dbsman noted he perused showtimes for Wed & saw no adds. {nm} Catzan Nov 21, 14:34
