Congrats, Mike !
We did it again! Thanks to all of you, the historic State Theatre of Traverse City was the number one theater in North America this week among the 312 theaters showing "Doubt." This happened in spite of the fact that the local Carmike chain's multiplex had already played "Doubt" for ten weeks. Our attendance was SEVEN TIMES the national average! In a news flash from Hollywood, here are the top ten grossing theaters for "Doubt" in North America this past weekend:
1. State Theatre, Traverse City MI
2. Lincoln Square 13, New York NY
3. Village East 7, New York NY
4. Empire 25, New York NY
5. Forum 22, Montreal QC
6. San Francisco Centre 9, San Francisco CA
7. Sedona 6, Sedona AZ
8. Angelika Film Center 8, Dallas TX
9. Lake 7, Oak Park (Chicago) IL
10. Olympus Pointe 12, Roseville (Sacramento) CA
That's right. We topped the theater in Lincoln Square in New York City. What the heck is going on here? It's hard to explain to the Hollywood brass. What do you think I should tell them? Drop me an email and let me know what to tell them when they ask me, "What is it about the State Theatre?" They're starting to think we're not really of this planet....
