Finding Nemo (3D) is the widest release of the week with 2,900 screens. Will next week be a more interesting week at the box office? Well, it does get a little geekier, which seemed to be a theme of the early summer business success. We’ll see how high the approved budget is, though. Really, it’s the foreign market’s that drove Sony to greenlight the sequel. It should be own tomorrow’s actual numbers, but that means it’s going to be up to the overseas markets to see if Spidey makes it all the way to $750M global. The Amazing Spider-Man, while still in a few theaters, did not show up on the weekend estimates. The Avengers picked up another $795K, but the $658 per screen average suggests that extremely long run is just about over. This is week 8 for the billion dollar film. Then again, the $1,653 per screen average was pretty good in the current context. The Dark Knight Rises is still hanging around the top 10 at #9 with the second highest percentage drop of the top 10 this week. Granted, it was barely a wide release with 1,511 screen, but $1.8M is a bit less than you expect from a Bruce Willis film. That’s a lot better than The Cold Light of Day’s opening average of $1,191 per screen. That’s actually a borderline good average for this slow week, but absolutely not what you want for opening week. The third slot is the lackluster debut of The Words, which managed a meager $1,785 per screen. The Possession and Lawless keep their positions from last week, albeit with less revenue.
