Weekend #s Insidious 2 41.5M, Family 14.5 Riddick 7.0 Butler 5.5

Insidious is obviously spectacular (yay, largest live action September opening), but that number for the Family blows me away. No marketing and not even a lick of buzz. None. And it did a solid number.

It opened on 3000+ screen......... Hardly an achievement to open 14.5M..........

It doesn't matter how many screens you have if people are not interested, as you can see from this chart.

$4691 theater average is number 103 worst, which is not good. Hence proves my point, that it's hardly an achievement.

To be honest, barely anyone was at my 1:45 showing yesterday. Maybe it is more of a night film I presume.

[CJohn]

September may pull the record out of nowhere like August did.

Saturday jumps seem really muted compared to last week.  Did something happen yesterday?

I am glad to see this hit 100m. 

[Kvikk Lunsj]

Wow at Insidious 2 for making a 41m OW.  

[The Stingray]

2 +40m OW in 1 year for horror. Gotta be some kind of record. And both were directed by James Wan!

He's on a roll to say the least

[Kvikk Lunsj]

I think the title needs to be updated.

The best part about Insidious 2 was the pot/kettle smackdown. If you have seen the movie you know what scene I'm talking about

We're the Millers headed for $150m, Butler - $115-120m

[lilmac]

Conjuring's gross has already changed when adjusting for inflation (actual - $135, adjusted - $131).  haha
