11/08/09 Debuting in "Preciouss shadow this weekend were two films that found nice numbers on sole New York screen debuts. Frederick Wiseman's doc "La Danse," which explores the Paris Opera Ballet, sold out all of its shows at New York's Film Forum over the weekend, grossing $14,000. That took its total to $21,220 since opening Wednesday. Due to the heavy demand, a second screen will be added at the Film Forum next Friday - a very rare occurrence at a theater with little flexibility due to their calendar programming. Since the grosses were only limited by the number of screenings and seats. The nearly three hour running time limited it to three screenings per day in a 150 seat theater. But, the theater reported that the Friday shows sold out hours in advance, and the first two shows on Saturday sold out before the first show even began. Perhaps not "Precious" impressive, but certainly a feat in its own right.  |  indieWIRE
