elijah_findsParis, je t'aime expanded another 21 theatres to 79. Woo! It took an estimated $387,000 this weekend, bringing its North American gross to $1,409,000. Its PTA is falling a little (it was $4,898 this week) but it's still pretty healthy. I think it's doing quite nicely.
There was a press release around last week from First Look:
"I am thrilled with the early box office success of PARIS, JE T'AIME," says Co-chairman, Henry Winterstern. "First Look always believed in the film and the May release date proved to be good counter-programming to the summer blockbusters. I am confident with our continued support, along with positive reviews and word-of-mouth; the film will continue to attract audiences nationwide throughout the summer."
So, they seem pretty happy that it's doing as well as they kind of expected it to do. Not a break out hit but a good, solid enough result for an indie movie. It also implies it's going to roll out around the country little by little so it may appear at art house cinemas without very much press (i.e. if you are in the US or Canada, keep checking you local cinema listings).
