The Devil Inside beats the entire week-end forecast ($14.1M) with the friday numbers alone!

'' The Devil Inside got the year off to a great start with a massive $16.85 million debut on Friday. Add in solid Christmas holdovers and the Top 10 earned an estimated $42.7 million yesterday, which is up an enormous 61 percent from the first Friday of 2011. Perhaps more impressive is that it's about even with the same Friday in 2010, which was when Avatar was still driving unusually high results. ''

''In a boost for the domestic box office, Paramount's horror pic The Devil Inside opened to a record-breaking $34.5 million, helping to drive up theatrical revenues by more than 25 percent over last year.

The R-rated movie--acquired by Paramount for only $1 million--scored the best opening ever for early January, and the third biggest for the month after fellow Paramount title Cloverfield ($40.1 million) and George Lucas' 1997 reissue of Star Wars ($35.9 million). Those two films were released in late January.''

BOM seems to be down again,for some reason.

Unbelievable for TDI. It was made for a paltry $1 million. Horror movies seem to be making a big comeback in the US. Not that they were gone, but the quality seems to be getting better. The Orphan, The Rite and Insidious were all quite good. Heck, even M. Night Shamylan's Devil was passable.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I cannot remember the last recently released ( in the past 5 years ) horror movie that I've truly enjoyed.

Halloween ( 2007 ) would be the most enjoyable out of them all.

Does Disney really deserve to have Beauty do that well?

Thanks for the update! But I got a question though. Why only the top 6?
