Working Title and Warp - selected box office stats
As I've written on/discussed these elsewhere, I'll simply add the screenshots. You would never try to remember all, but rather pick out a few, looking for one or more of:
- the total UK box office
- the total US box office
- the rough % of world box office the US (or UK) represents
- the length of run [how many weeks it was in cinemas for] - especially useful looking at Indie films that basically tour the arthouse circuit with a limited number of prints
- the number of screens
- if the Gant Rule can be seen with the figures
- the number of countries it got theatrical distribution in (many WT films get 40+; World's End was notably quite disappointing)
