After Pananormal Activity’s surprising success with limited theater release, it did well again this weekend gaining third place with a known $11,000 budget. After seeing it however, I didn’t become a fan. It’s like watching Blair Witch Project while on a wild boat ride through disturbing seas. I was sick to my stomach with motion sickness, I was even late for work the next day because of it.
While that kind of phenomenon didn’t dominate this weekend’s box-office. Warner Bros.’ “Where the Wild Things Are” came up number as 1 earning $32.5 M followed by Law Abiding Citizen with $21.3 M – the phenomenal movie still did well comparing the budget spent for each of the films. $11,000 dollars spent with another $20.2 million earned is not bad screening in only 760 theaters. There will be an expected increase to that revenue when it goes full blast next weekend with 1,800 theaters.
