Edit: Updated with actual numbers. Gross revenue went up by $26,836, but its rank dropped an additional 3 places.
It’s time for yet another update on Expelled’s number. Again, I will compare with last week using preliminary numbers first and update when the actual numbers are released on Monday.
Number of theaters: 402 (-254)
Weekend gross revenue: $328,836 (-$349,468)
Weekend rank: #21 (-6)
Weekend revenue/screen: $818 (-$283)
No changes with ratings again. Instead, here are what it has earned by week.
Week 1: $3,902,920 ($932,072 weekdays total)
Week 2: $2,032,032 ($637,092 weekdays total)
Week 3: $971,048 ($292,744 weekdays total)
Week 4: $328,836 + weekdays revenue
At this rate, it may only reach about $8m total box office (I had estimated it reaching $9m last week)
Not a good sign considering that the judge ordered the defendants to stop distributing the film while the trial is still proceeding.
