In fairness, it has opened on 217 screens, compared to 3,000+ for King Kong and Chronicles of Narnia. Will it beat those two when it gets wider play? Not hardly. There aren't enough liberal true believers who'll see it 18 times.
Is it going to get wider play? If they haven't opened it on more than a couple hundred screens yet, what are they waiting for? I doubt there are that many theater owners who can afford empty seats.
