On the chart Bottoms (10-theater exclusive): $46.1K per screen
Expected 'Headed to a psa of $60k or so' Actual: $46.1K per screen
In the note
Figure about $1.2 million for the weekend. Bottoms - MGM looks like they’re going to end up with a very sexy PSA on Bottoms.

Expected 'About $3 million in 3, and mid 3's in 4' Actual: $3.0M 3-day
In the note
So figure it finishes right behind Barbie (sfx: Throat clearing) for a 3 day of 8-9 and a 4 day of about 10. Bottoms - Expanded to 700 runs today, and this is a good example of how you handle a film like this.
Friday, March 15, 2024 Third weekend of March 2024
In the note
Last year films like Dungeons & Dragons and Bottoms were good, and played gangbusters there, but the reach of the event was still short of what we would see pre-shutdown.
