By our term of a weekly count, hardly any people died in the Colosseum. Yes, the Colosseum was used as an execution center, but remember it was an entertainment center. Events did not take place in it constantly. It was a very expensive undertaking to set up a show in the giant arena. The executions were held in connection with some other event, usually a gladiatorial contest and the gladiatorial bouts took place perhaps two or three times a year in celebration of some event or anniversary. Hollywood history would have you believe that Christians were constantly being thrown to the lions during the persecutions, but this simply was not true.
Most probably over a thousand because of the Colosseum and the fights there
There were 80 exits in the Colosseum
One heck of a lot. 10 years of slaughter's worth. Read the Iliad it names and gives a history to half of them!

There are no figures available for the number of deaths in the Colosseum. Remember that the Colosseum was used not only for gladiatorial combats, but also for public executions. For example, the ancient writers will say how many pairs of gladiators fought, but never say how many died or survived. The same holds true for the criminals who were executed.
