While reading a New York Times article on weekend box office biz for
the current crop of releases, I came across this paragraph:
The weekend was not as kind to 20th Century Fox. The studio’s “X-
Files: I Want to Believe,” a big-screen revival of the hit television
series, sold an estimated $10.2 million in tickets in North America.
It landed in fourth place, narrowly ahead of “Journey to the Center of
the Earth,” which sold $9.5 million in tickets — $72 million total
since its July 11 release. Chris Aronson, Fox’s senior vice president
for distribution, said that “X-Files” had also sold $9.3 million in
tickets in its limited overseas release, and as a result, the $30
million movie “will be more than profitable at the end of the day.”
Which means when considering the rest of its run in the U.S. and
overseas and DVD rentals and sales, look for an XF3 in the future.
