THEATERS PACKED FOR DEBUT OF WOODY ALLEN’S TO ROME WITH LOVE

It didn’t quite rise to the heights of last year’s Midnight in Paris, which earned nearly $100,000 per theater on its opening weekend, but Woody Allen’s To Rome With Love produced the best per-theater average of any film so far this year — $76,000, for a total of $379,000 from ticket sales in three theaters in New York and two in Los Angeles. That result, together with positive — if not overly enthusiastic — reviews, should give the movie solid impetus as it heads for wide release on July 6. Focus Features also expanded Moonrise Kingdom, which brought in $3.4 million, or an average of $8,635 per theater.
