This claims a $4404 box office?

For film I thought "box office gross" was the amount paid for tickets at the cinema. Is the article using a different definition of "gross"?

I to a look into it, it seems that the numbers come directly from the lawyers. Grossing here is referring to just what was accumulated in movie theaters and they focused in just Los Angeles and Philadelphia. I can assume only to showcase the limited spread of the film.

I also agree that it was a brutal argument and it was very bold from the director to sue.
