One notable success has been the intelligent design documentary Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, featuring Ben Stein. Released on a little over 1,000 screens... the film picked up another $1.03 million on Saturday, and it will finish the weekend with just under $3 million. Not bad for a movie shot on a shoestring, released by a virtually unknown distributor and promoted very lightly.
Expelled earned a per theater average of $2800 on around 1000 screens, while Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden earned less than half of that, just coming in at $1373 per theater on about 100 screens.
