According to studio estimates, the colorful toddler-targeting entry ... earned a truly awful $448,131 from 2,160 theaters in its debut three-day weekend. That gross yielded a per theater average of $207. Yes, you’re reading that correctly: $207!

Just how low is that? Let’s pretend that the average ticket price for each customer was about $7 this weekend. That would mean that only 30 people saw Oogieloves at each theater — across all its showings — over the past three days.
