UPDATE: Pearl Jam Twenty at No. 1 at the box office this weekend... kinda!!!

I know that we as dedicated Pearl Jam fans don't care what the movie made in terms of box office receipts but I think it is a very good indicator of the popularity of the movie, given that it was only released, domestically in less than 99 theaters... Using that as a gauge and knowing that in most of those theaters there were only two or three showings in one day, the movie made $280,343, according to Boxoffice.com UPDATE: I know what you are saying about the title of this post... Lion King 3D was #1.... that's true but...This weekend, PEARL JAM TWENTY was Number 1 in Platform theaters of 99 or less.... It was only shown in 9 theaters this weekend (Sept. 23 - 25) and it avg. $9,946 for a total of $89,514 for THREE DAYS on NINE screens. So, yes Pearl Jam Twenty is Number 1(Sept. 23-25 in catagory of movies showing on 99 screens or less). Kinda of misleading I agree.... but true. Note: these numbers do not reflect the sales of PPV viewings this weekend...

Hi, my name is Javier and I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina. PJ20 was screened only in 6 theatres in Argentina. One theatre in Buenos Aires city, three theatres in Buenos Aires outskirts, one theatre in Rosario city and one theatre Cordoba city. I only went to the theatre in Buenos Aires city, in the town of Belgrano, near downtown. The film had 3 screens on Tue 20th, 2 on Fri 23rd, 2 on Sat 24th, and 1 on Sun 25th. I watch the movie once each day. I don't know how many times the film was screened on the other theatres. Local media reported that, on the night of the premiere Sep 20th, the theatre in the town of Belgrano was the theatre which sold more tickets worldwide, by selling 827 tickets.
