Listen closely and you can hear the FLUSH!Theater counts for the weekend of August 11 came out today on Box Office Mojo and the news isn't good for Singerman. It's going to lose 960 theaters this weekend, or over 56% of it's remaining theaters. Singerman will now be reduced to being in just 750 theaters in this it's 7th weekend. That's now 385 LESS than The Devil Wears Prada (which opened the same weekend) is in. So much for those arguments about the film having "legs."
Since everyone loves these comparisons so much. In it's 7th weekend at the domestic box office Batman Begins was still in 1601 theaters. That's 54.2% more for those of you scoring at home. When you keep in mind that Singerman started out in 207 more theaters than Begins to begin with (4065 vs. 3858), the discrepancy becomes even more glaring.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Singerman's first sub-million dollar weekend.
