samsha22 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Really, 3.4m for a no brand horror film? People with money to burn. If not for this then NYSM would have another daily at #1, that it deserves. Dang it! NYSM will be #3 on friday..FF6 will get the family bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDC1987 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 NOW YOU SEE ME, PURGE - I am glad smaller films get a chance. Let's be careful when we call NYSM "smaller" as it still had a $75 million production cost and a stacked cast that includes one of the principal actors in The Avengers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 THE PURGE earned amazing $3.4M on Thursday night. Fandango says it's the top-selling horror movie of the year so far, in terms of pre-sales. https://twitter.com/gradywsmith/status/343035931802087424 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krissykins Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Woohoo. Horror needed another hit this year. The Purge has come out of no where. It only got this release date afew months ago. Marketing has been terrific, congrats to Platinum Dunes and the marketing department at Universal. To answer an earlier question about a film covering it's budget from midnights, Paranormal Activity 2 and 3 did too. It's just a horror thing, obviously, Paranormal Activity 2 : $6,300,000 midnights - $5,000,000 budget Paranormal Activity 3 : $8,000,000 midnights - $5,000,000 budget The Devil Inside : $2,000,000 midnights - $1,000,000 budget 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) Low-ish 50% drop next weekend? Low for thriller genre. It is R, so drop could be big. Horrors trend to be quite frontloading. Edited June 7, 2013 by firedeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
