the film made $102,656 from four theaters, a per-venue average of $25,651.
The opening-weekend figures are slightly wrong. Box Office Mojo and The Numbers both report a $102,606 opening weekend and a $25,652 per-theater average, not $102,656 and $25,651.
Full reasoning
This sentence gives specific opening-weekend box-office figures, but the published totals from the two standard box-office references do not match it.
- Box Office Mojo lists Opening: $102,606 in 4 theaters.
- The Numbers also lists Opening Weekend: $102,606 and a per-theater average of $25,652.
Because the article gives exact values rather than rough approximations, the figures as written are incorrect.

The company's stock price closed at 256.01 on January 28, 2018, and by December 1, 2019, it had fallen to 168.27.
This sentence assigns stock ‘closing’ prices to two Sundays. January 28, 2018 and December 1, 2019 were both Sundays, and the NYSE does not run its regular stock market session on Sundays.
Full reasoning
The sentence is incorrect as written because it gives official stock closing prices for two dates that were not trading days.
- January 28, 2018 was a Sunday.
- December 1, 2019 was also a Sunday.
- The NYSE's regular stock market session runs on normal business days from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET; it is not open for regular stock trading on Sundays.
So there could not have been an NYSE stock-market closing price for 3M on either of those dates. Even if the author intended to refer to nearby trading days, the sentence as written is factually wrong because it attributes closing prices to non-trading dates.
