The
movie that captured the top spot this past weekend is "Insidious: Chapter
2," a sequel to the 2011 hair-raising film "Insidious," which tells
the tale of a boy who is lost in an invisible demon-populated region. "Insidious:
Chapter 2" brought in $41 million in its debut weekend, making it the best
September opening for any film. The horror sequel raked in $20 million on
Friday, the biggest one-day gross in the month of September.
This
year the horror genre has been a sizable source of profit for the film
industry. Some of the box-office results for scary cinema include "The
Conjuring," which took in $260 million worldwide on a production budget of
$20 million; "The Purge," which parleyed $86 million worldwide while
only costing $3 million to produce; "Mama," which made $147 million
worldwide and had an expenditure of $15 million; "The Evil Dead,"
which did $100 million in box office worldwide with a $17 million price tag;
and "The Call," which collected $52 million domestically (the film
did not have foreign distribution) with production outlays of $13 million. [more...]
