Apparently so. But I don't understand why this no name horror film will outgross the other no name horror film that just came out.

I do.I live near San Fran. and I have seen TONS of ads for it on the TV stations I watch. I saw almost nothing for "Apparition" (and when I finally did, it was 2 days before it came out). Plus, the ads play up Raimi's name substantially - thus tranforming it from a "no name" to a "name". Lastly, the trailer has the "fun" aspect of a possession, demon, evil, supernatural, etc. - many of the same things that propelled "The Devil Inside" to almost $34M debut back in January. I don't expect "Possession" to get that high, but I certainly can see why it's tracking for #1.

Thank you doctoru2.I guess there is a lot more advertising for it in the US than there is here in Canada because I haven't seen anything here.

Yeah been seeing quite a bit of advertisement as well. Was planning on watching it this weekend but making a road trip for Labor Day. Maybe I'll catch it next weekend.
