According to the latest Box Office figures, "I Am A Sex Addict" had the 15th highest per screen average this weekend ($3,816), down from #7 last weekend ($5,345). The film opened well in New York, with a weekend total of $9,130, but the per screen average was lower overall because the film had to share a screen in both Portland and Oakland. What is astonishing to me is that "I Am A Sex Addict" did better, on a per screen average, than "L'Enfant" (sad, but true), "The Devil and Daniel Johnston" (go see this), "Don't Come Knocking" (by Wim Wenders!), "Why We Fight" (go see this too), "Capote" (hard to believe), "Tristram Shandy" (I love that guy), and even "Brokeback Mountain" (unfuckin' believable). Granted, many of those films have been out a lot longer than my film, but still, it gives one pause.
My resolution for the day is to stop complaining. At least until tomorrow.
