Did You Pay to See Twelve in Theaters? Movieline Wants Your Stories!
The numbers are in for the second, far more limited, and presumably final weekend of release for Joel Schumacher's outlandish, preposterous teen-excess drama Twelve. And they're not good: A week after grossing a stunning $477 per screen (adjusted up from the original $463 average), the film tumbled to an even more abysmal $286 average on (appropriately) 12 screens. The total gross as of Sunday was $181,591, meaning roughly 17,000 Americans paid money to see a film with a 4-percent fresh Rotten Tomatoes rating. If you're among them, Movieline wants to hear from you!
No, really -- especially if you were among the crowds last weekend, which averaged attendance around maybe 10 people per screening. Where did you see it? Were you surprised by the turnout, or the lack thereof? Did you know what you were getting into? What was the feeling as the lights went down? Did it provide the unintentional laughs promised here? Did anyone walk out?
A full oral history of Twelve in theaters would be an optimal end goal from this, though basic documentation of its commercial existence would provide some historical value as well. No shills need apply; Movieline's BS detectors are on high sensitivity this morning. Share below!

I want to know - of those people who went to see it - how many of them thought they were seeing a sequel to Ocean's 12.
Florence completely took over at the Video Music Awards. Dog Days Are Over is quite an amazing song and it sounds so much better than the songs on the radio today.
