Seth Gordon‘s The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (Picturehouse) took in $50,294 on five screens this weekend — $16,957 on Friday, $18,249 on Saturday and an estimated $15,088 today for an average of $10,509. In short, it’s got a decent amount of heat. “This is a fantastic per-screen average,” Picturehouse honcho Bob Berney said today. (Not to me personally — I got the quote off a press release.) “The reviews were great, we really used a grass roots and viral campaign to open the film…gamers are actually leaving their computers and arcades and coming to the theatres.”
