[SilverBack]

8 Mile was shown in 2,470 theaters. Somebody dropped the ball on the amount of theaters GRODT was released in. It could of deffinitely made more money opening week if it was shown in 818 more theaters per day. I really don't think it could of had an opener of 51M like 8 Mile, but as the Saturday numbers just came out, you can see that his average per theater is only second to Chicken Little and Chicken Little was released in 3658 theathers.

Fat Weekend for Slim Shady: Eminem's $51 Million 'Mile'
by Brandon Gray
November 11, 2002


More people saw the big screen debut of Eminem in its first weekend than have purchased his last blockbuster CD as the controversial rapper achieved that rare feat—he made the transition from music superstardom to movie superstardom. What's more, he did it in a spectacularly unprecedented way.

The $41 million semi-autobiographical drama 8 Mile went the distance for Universal Pictures with a $51,240,555 weekend at 2,470 theaters. Though $3,223,000 less than the studio projected on Sunday, the opening stands as the biggest ever for a movie not preordained to be or made as a blockbuster. Based on current ticket prices, nearly 8 million people saw the picture in three days, compared to the estimated 7 million that have purchased "The Eminem Show," the top selling album of the past two years.
