Capitalism: A Love Story ran on just four screens (it's going wide this weekend, starting Oct. 2) and made $240,000. Do a little math and that's an average of $60,000 per screen, which makes it the movie with the highest per-screen average this year.
To put it in perspective, the No. 1 movie at the box office, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (which, don't worry, isn't a doc) made averaged $8,000 per screen.
On top of the weekend dough, add about $9,000 per screen, per day since Capitalism's opening on Wednesday, Sept. 24 (indieWIRE runs those numbers in relation to others, right here) and the total take so far is a little over $300,000.
When Capitalism goes into wide release this week it will run on about 1,000 screens. While you're waiting for that, read all about the film in our Documentary magazine piece: "Love and Luchre: Michael Moore Follows the Money."
