Variety:
After racking up the year’s best per-screen average in its opening weekend and doing strong business in limited expansion, “Steve Jobs” hit a stumbling block in its national release. It debuted to a measly $7.3 million, only a little more than the $6.7 million that “Jobs,” a critically derided film about the iPhone father with Ashton Kutcher, made in its initial weekend. Going into the weekend, some tracking suggested that the picture would do as much as $19 million.So what went wrong?
This dissection by Variety is really interesting. I never expected it to do Star Wars box office but I am a little surprised it has done so little. Apparently, there’s lots of blame to go around.
