O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! Or for those who don’t speak Jabberwock, F*ckin’ A!. Horror once again reigned supreme at the weekend box office.
HIDE AND SEEK
(read Arrow’s review here), managed to scare up an impressive 22 million dollars over a January weekend that saw surprisingly brisk business at theaters. Looks like despite middling reviews, the appetite for any new horror is still strong. Even when it comes bundled with a gimicky protect the last reel push from the studio.
Unfortunately the news wasn’t so good for Uwe Boll’s sophomore effort ALONE IN THE DARK
(read Arrow’s on-set experience here), which managed just $2.5 million.
So let’s all dance a little jig now, because horror at #1 is good for the genre no matter how it happens. And congrats to DeNiro for his second top earner, with
MEET THE FOCKERS still going strong at the #5 spot.
