Universal's cheap-o chill pill, THE PURGE, popped off at #1 with an incredible $36.3M!

 

Mighty impressive start.

An those are some fine numbers for Saturday. Very good weekend holds for several films - minus AE an HO3 of course.

Do films drop that much in June? Im on my phone. Can u check?

Did a quick search. The worst Sunday drop I could find for a fairly sizable June opener was The Taking of Pelham 123's 38%. That was also an R-rated thriller, although obviously not a horror. Several big films like X-Men FC and Snow White, as well as horrors like The Happening, The Strangers and Hostel 2, all dropped between 28-32%. Last year Prometheus dropped just 15%.

I went and seen it Thursday night with a packed theater...

Yep, my follow up viewing was sold out.  Looks like good WOM has kicked in for certain.

[narniadis]

They are way over estimating that Sunday hold or Saturday had to be much better than RTH suggested.

Hopefully it's a sign of decent summer Sunday drops!

Congrats to F6 and should finish around 240M. Very impressive for the 6th movie to be the biggest.
