Horror flick Annabelle is going to do what others couldn’t this year: Have a strong debut, something strong for a horror flick in 2014.. but in a surprise, Gone Girl will be stronger ..
Good news for Annabelle: the film will make more than $37.2 mil strong. The movie had a strong Friday night, boosted by younger crowds and social media and YouTube trailers that were shared heavily among horror fans..
But Gone Girl will finish near $38, something that may have been helped by strong online reviews and praise..
The weekend race for the top spot ended up close. Horror was strong with ANNABELLE, and those I spoke to who saw the movie said there was a positive movie theater experience with the film..
A young crowd went to see horror Friday.. The grownups went on Saturday. Social media helped both movies … and Sunday looked just as strong both them …
The rebirth of movies!?
No.. maybe just a fluke.
Times are getting colder.. warm popcorn and closely sitting next to your date in a theater are looking better in October..
