$100,000 is more than Perks of being a Wallfower made on friday ($84,916).
Perks had 4 theaters and was rated PG -13, so $100,000 on friday alone is ****ing awesome.
Friday Box Office: 'Spring Breakers' Top Limited Opening of Year,
Though not yet showing an impact on a wider scale (an expansion is planned starting next Friday), A24’s SXSW hit “Spring Breakers” from veteran indie Harmony Korine opened in three New York/Los Angeles theaters to a stunning total of $95,000, by far the biggest limited opening of the year, and likely to approach a $100,000 per screen average for the weekend. To give some indication of what a shock this gross is, none of Kormine’s previous films have grossed as much in their entire runs as this likely will do for it opening weekend.
