UK Daily Mail: Al Gore’s sequel flounders in 15th place at box office, making less than original – despite appearing on more than TWICE as many screens
UK Daily Mail:
An Inconvenient Sequel made $900,000 across 180 screens this weekend
The original, released in 2006, made $1.35m on 77 screens at the same point
That's $5,000 per screen for the sequel compared to $17,600 per screen before
It's also at 15th place in the box office, compared to ninth place for the first film
Paramount intends to open it up to more than 500 theaters for next weekend
It's already made back more than its $1m production cost in two weeks, however
It has made $1,052,371 so far across its first two weekends

An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power, which follows the ex-VP’s continuing attempts to raise awareness of global warming, made $900,000 across 180 screens on the weekend of August 4-6, according to Box Office Mojo.
But the original made $1,356,387 across just 77 screens at the same point in its run in 2006, leaving Paramount’s confidence in the movie’s appeal looking misplaced.
