This weekend's box office numbers weren't exceptionally generous to the horror genre, but a few noteworthy genre pieces did draw some decent funds. The Milla Jovovich driven chiller The Fourth Kind opened to decent ticket sales, drawing $12.5 million dollars and claiming the number four spot in the box office top 10. Paranormal Activity also continued it's successful run, drawing another $8.6 million dollars ($97 million total earnings after seven weeks release), Paranaormal slid in the box office just behind The Fourth Kind at number five.
Surprisingly, The Box didn't open to quite the numbers some may expect. The intriguing moral thriller only earned $7.8 million dollars, falling in line directly behind Paranormal Activity. Saw VI, The Stepfather and Zombieland all managed to linger in the top 15, earning $2 million ($26 million dollars over three weeks), $1.875 million ($27 million dollars over four weeks), and $1.35 million ($73 million over six weeks) respectively.
I suppose the big kudos must go to »
