No movie managed to beak the $10,000 per theatre average this weekend. Overall the best showing was
The Battle of Algiers with $9,143. The best new limited release,
Lost Boys of Sudan, finished in second place with $7,485. In the mean time, the best wide release was way down the list in 16th place. That film,
Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen could only manage an average of $3,736.

The Dreamers wasn't hampered by its NC-17 rating. Not only is its per theatre average of $28,526 the best of the week, it was the best this year beating
Big Fish by more than $8,000.
