Post 1500 screens + $60k profits = disaster

Maybe it's a good thing to have big studio backing:

"A new movie for toddlers, "Oogieloves in The Big Balloon Adventure," is making the wrong kind of box-office history.

The movie opened Wednesday at 1,500 theaters and brought in $60,000 total. :o That's a sippy-cup-sized $40 per screen for the independently distributed G-rated cartoon.

It has a shot at recording one of the worst wide-opening weekends ever. Last year's "Creature" set the standard when it averaged $217 on 1,507 screens. "Oogieloves" is scheduled to be on 2,160 screens for the weekend, but theater owners who've seen Wednesday's numbers may want to reconsider."

They should market it as a horror movie for stoners. Even sober, the ads scare the crap out of me.

But, see, right there in your post is the reason it's failing: "A new movie for toddlers". Why a wide release for a movie aimed at toddlers? Who the hell wants to go to a movie with a toddler? Just release it on DVD and rake in the bucks.
