A Tale of Two Movies

It was the best of box office receipts, it was the worst of box office receipts.

From the Yahoo! Movies weekend box office rankings:

This Wk	Last Wk	Title	Weekend Gross	Cumulative Gross	RlseWks	# ofTheaters
21	-	Good Night, And Good Luck.	$421,446	$421,446	1	11
22	18	Oliver Twist	$411,790	$1,715,398	3	779

Especially striking is the "number of theaters" column.

I suppose what this tells us is that either people really don't like pedophiliac rapists, or that people are not interested in Dickens. Take your pick. Oh, and that George Clooney still has his box office mojo.
