These numbers compare very well to our (Music Box Films) opening of THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, which on March 19 debuted on 34 US screens with a $10,012 screen average. THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE also represents the widest opening for a foreign language film in recent memory or perhaps ever.

If we were to compare these two opening weekends using the same theaters or same zones, THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE actually exceeded significantly the screen average of the first installment of the Stieg Larsson trilogy. The final film in the trilogy, THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET’S NEST opens on October 15, 2010.

THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO passed the $9 million mark in US box office last week and is still holding on 81 locations.
