EDIT: Found something. Indiewire says it made $30,000, with a per screen average of $400. Ouch!
I imagine even those numbers are somewhat inflated.
I live in Columbus, Ohio, a MAJOR college town, and it was playing on exactly ONE screen, with just one showing per day (after midnight) for exactly FOUR days. It has already been taken down.

An interesting bit of math: The number I saw was posted Sunday, so it made $400 per screen over three days. The national average price for a movie ticket (as of the end of 2015) was $8.43. This means (and I'm rounding up here) that an average of 16 people saw this movie per day at each screen.
I know someone who saw it who said there were only like six or seven people in the theater at their screening and I assumed they were exaggerating. Looks like they weren't.
It can't make much money at theaters when the release is extremely limited and there's practically no promotion. I'm kinda looking forward to checking it out personally.
Don't give up the fight for truly independent cinema!
