The domestic theatrical gross for I Am A Sex Addict is now, officially, at $94,381. It has been slowly inching its way toward a six figure total like Achilles in Zeno's paradox. (Zeno's paradox states that Achilles can never reach any given finish line because in order to arrive there, he must first arrive at the halfway mark, and in order to arrive at the halfway mark, he must first arrive at the quarter-way mark, and in order to arrive at the quarter-way mark, he must first arrive at the eighth-way mark, etc. ad infinitum.) And, indeed, it is starting to feel like the film will never actually attain the $100,000 benchmark, which has hovered on the horizon like an infinitely receding mirage ever since the film first opened on April 5th. Each week, the film seems to make a little less than the week before. I suppose that's normal, but I keep hoping that the numbers will actually start to go up as a result of word of mouth.
In anticipation of actually crossing the six figure finish line in the not-too-distant-future, I have decided to offer a free poster to the person who most accurately guesses the day on which the film crosses over into a six figure theatrical box office gross.
