I was just wondering:

AT A GLANCE - SCREEN AVERAGES - U.K.
1. DIL NE JISE APNA KAHAA £ 3,042
2. DHOOM £ 933
3. RAKHT £ 704
4. PHIR MILENGE £ 452
5. MUJHSE SHAADI KAROGI £ 407
6. FIDA £ 271
7. KYUN! HO GAYA NA… £ 81
8. HUM TUM £ 19
KYUN! HO GAYA NA… [last weekend: No. 39, this weekend: No. 62] is unexciting. In its fifth weekend, the film has collected
£ 162 on 2 screens, with the per screen average working out to £ 81. The total so far has been £ 254,070 [approx. Rs. 2.10 crores].
HUM TUM [last weekend: No. 61, this weekend: No. 72] is limited to one screen. In its sixteenth weekend, the film has
collected £ 19 on 1 screen. The total so far has been £ 645,747 [approx. Rs. 5.36 crores].
----------------------------
Is this £ 19 per screen, for the whole week, the total revenue from 2 to 4 tickets sold or is it total ticket sales minus theatre rent/ share??
If a film can be screened with a revenue of just £ 19 from a scheduled show, why not screen films on demand for £ 100 to £ 200 out of stored prints??
