‘Precious’ breaks Box Office Records in Limited Release…

Lionsgate's "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire" set a new record for films opening in limited release. The film brought in 1.8 million from just 18 theater release, estimating to $100,000 per theater.

The LA Times is reporting that the film was show in both highbrow theaters, and in African American communities not only that but a small majority of moviegoers were black, and a lopsided 68% were female. The film will be released this Friday in more theatres across the country. As well as more next Friday! The film is also creating ALOT of Oscar buzz!
