What’s more creepy? The ghosts? Or this room’s paint job?

Paranormal Does Dominate Again
…

A much lower result for one of horror’s most successful franchises, some other surprises as well…

Weekend Results…

1. Paranormal Activity 4 - 42 Million. Actual: 29 Million.

Sensei’s streak of calling the correct #1 extends to four weeks.

2. Alex Cross – 19 Million. Actual: #5 with 11.3 Million. Ouch.

Paranormal Activity 4 turned in a much lower opening than the previous franchise entries. Many are already labeling it a disappointment. Alex Cross also did not reach the healthy opening expected. Turns out Tyler Perry’s audience is becoming less reliable with his other projects.

Looking at the hold-overs, Argo did post a very healthy second weekend off its positive audience reviews. Taken 2 and Hotel Transylvania did add to their already impressive totals. While the new releases may have disappointed, the hold-overs did very well.
