Hey everybody, they just recently released figures for this weekend's showings of Rialto's Godzilla re-release, and they're incredibly good!
Total over 3 days the film has made $38,030! And that's only playing at 2 theaters! It had the highest per-theater average of any film over this entire weekend! Good job Godzilla, and here's to more sucuess!

It even made the entertainment news on IMDB:
In a big surprise, a restored print of the original Godzilla (with Raymond Burr removed) took in $19,000 per screen at movie houses in New York and San Francisco.

Thats great to hear. I wonder if it would be fair to say that this excededd Rialto's estimates and hopes for opening weekend? I hope this can old for all the locations around the country and for the length of its duration? I wonder how many people were repeat viewers?

Rialto told me that due to the increasing interest in GODZILLA they've doubled the number of prints to 6.

Look at it this way: Godzilla opened Friday at the Nuart in West Los Angeles. I attended the 7:30 PM showing and we had around 75% of the theater filled. Considering how horrible Friday night traffic is in Los Angeles, the film did quite well. Plus, there were a lot of people waiting to get in for the next showing. Not bad for a fifty-year-old foreign movie in an arthouse theater!

That's how I felt too.
I liked how the Toy Vaults Godzilla plush and Steve Ryfles book were both available at the concession stand. I cant wait for December to see all the goodies that await me at the Tokyo theater I see Final Wars at.
