Advertiser Staff

Premier Exhibitions Inc., operator of the controversial "Bodies...The Exhibition" exhibit at Ala Moana, reported net income for the three months ended Aug. 31 fell to $900,000, in part of lower attendance nationwide.

The company had a profit of $5.5 million in the same period a year earlier.

Atlanta-based Premier Exhibitions said overall attendance at its Bodies and Titanic exhibits was down 15 percent. The Bodies attendance fell even as 19 locations were operated, up from 11 a year earlier.
