Here are some interesting budgetary numbers from Work and the Glory:
- Opening night was on 39 screens in 31 theaters, all in Utah.
- National release will come in January
- Larry Miller was the sole investor, shelling out $7.4 million for
production and another $1.1 million for distribution, resulting in a
total investment of $8.5 million
- Thursday through Monday Utah release pulled in a hefty $450,000
at the box office
- Miller is hoping for a $5 million showing at the box office,
followed by 600,000 DVD sales, to recoup his investment. Given the
strength of the Utah opening weekend, it appears that the film is on
track to reach those goals.
