Fido, Sunday estimates

I wanted to hold out some hope for Fido, the estimated $11,000,0000? (according to Wiki) zombie-comedy made Andrew Currie at Anagram Pictures in Vancouver, but I think like Ted's earlier post, the film is now walking dead theatrically.

Sunday estimates from Fido's two US theatres(ers) (NuArt in L.A. and the Angelika in Soho NYC ) show a 67.7% drop over the weekend with a $3,300 estimate for a $18,500 US total in two weeks.

My understanding is that Lionsgate is handling the US distribution of Fido.

The film is expected to expand with 4 more screens July 6th in San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, and Boston, but I would be surprised at all if the film gets much more attention stateside. Such as it is from a Canadian distribution company who's execs are all in L.A. In August the picture opens in France, Japan, and Singapore (hopefully with much success).

$11,000,000 really isn't that much. Besides, there are ways to pay off that debt, cable, DVD special editions, foreign sales, organ harvesting...
