The title is easily the best per theater average of all titles reporting numbers this weekend.

Last weekends number one debut, The Wife, from Sony Classics expanded to 18 theaters with solid numbers, taking in over $217K ($12K average). Ethan Hawkes Blaze lit up 7 Texas theaters after debuting in Austin last week, grossing $51,286 ($7,326 average).

And SPCs Puzzle crossed seven figures in its fifth weekend, grossing $372K in 265 theaters, piecing together $1.2M as of Sunday.
