(Leonard Klady, Movie City News):The
mixed bag of limited release preems was highlighted by an excellent response to
the concert film Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic. The film recorded a $19,000
plus per engagement average from seven outings for a $130,000 gross. The family
drama Bee Season had a comparable gross but on three times as many screens
that translated into anxiety about the Richard Gere film’s expansion prospects.Weekend Estimates
