No surprise that Paranormal Activity 2 has been dominating the boxoffice, and so far reviews have been mostly positive so I am sure that helps beating out the pranksters of Jackass 3. I was kind of hoping for Red to cling to the #2 spot as the Jackass crowd had enough, but they pretty much stayed the course for their second weeks.
Paranormal Activity 2 – $41,500,000 – Opening
Jackass 3-D – $21,600,000 – 2wks
Red – $15,000,000 – 2wks
Hereafter – $12,005,000 – 2wks
The Social Network – $7,300,000 – 4wks
The Social Network is still holding on to a Top 5 spot after HereAfter gets its wide release to set itself up in the #4 spot.
A quiet late October release of a spooky movie that sequels an insanely popular film? If that wasn’t number 1, I would have been shocked.
