Both Kristen Stewart’s The Runaways and Robert Pattinson’s Remember Me did better at the weekend’s box office than Sunday estimates indicated. True, neither movie saw their revenues double or anything even close to that — but both added several thousand dollars to their totals. For smaller movies, that’s always welcome.
Starring Kristen Stewart as rocker Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie, The Runaways, added $303K to its box office take — $18K (6%) more than initially estimated — according to final figures found at Box Office Mojo.
Directed and written by Florida Sigismondi, the biopic’s cume currently stands at $2.995 million. (Cost: $10m.) Though still low, the film’s per-theater average went from $1,214 to $1,250.
On the positive side, The Runaways’s drop-off rate was a perfectly acceptable 35%. (Last week it had jumped a whopping 182% following the addition of dozens of theaters.)
Starring Robert Pattinson as an aimless, rebellious young man, Remember Me grossed $68.5K this past weekend — or 4.5K (7%) more than original estimates had it. Okay, so that’s nothing to write home about; but hey, if the distributors or exhibitors don’t want that money, I’ll be happy to relieve them of it.
Remember Me’s per-theater average rose from $408 to $436. Still very low, but at least no longer the lowest per-theater average on Box Office Mojo’s chart. That dubious honor now belongs to a movie ironically called Ca$h ($98 per theater).
To date, Remember Me has grossed a total of $18.824 million at the North American box office. The romantic drama was directed by Allen Coulter, and co-stars Emilie de Ravin, Pierce Brosnan, Chris Cooper, Lena Olin, and Ruby Jerins.
Remember Me will be out on DVD on June 22.
