Why yes March was fantastic.
Before you compare the total month vs last year's total month you might want to notice that March 2012, had 5 Fridays & 5 Saturdays. To adjust for that, it might be wise to just look at 28 days.
According to Boxoffice.com for the 28 day period of March 2 through March 29, year over year ticket sales were up 24.6%. The top 10 each week was up 28.6%.
Now to April: No Hop, No Rio.
