King of Attendance

tutt.jpgIf you're the type who thinks this sort of thing significant, you'll want to know that the Tut show now being hosted by the Franklin Institute sold its millionth ticket yesterday, officials said. Actually, only 882,000 visitors have shown up, but we're sure the missing 12 percent will remember that they've bought tickets and rush in to use them soon. The Franklin says it's on track now to become the most peopled of four U.S. venues hosting the show, beating out Chicago's attendance of just over a million. Perpective: Philadelphia also had the show for the longest duration of the four venues.
