With the whole vampire craze taking over the latest horror movie releases and the Twilight series grabbing the Hot Topic generation by their little balls, it looks like everyone is trying to cash in on this… well almost everyone.
Apparently Transylmania had the worst opening ever…. HAHA
Not everything with vampires has bite.”New Moon” may have taken in $142.8 million its first weekend in release, but R-rated indie horror spoof “Transylmania” gained the distinction of having the worst domestic premiere in history, for movies debuting in more than 1,000 theaters.
Just how bad was it?
Released in 1,007 locations, the lightly promoted, low-budget movie — about a group of college kids who get into spooky adventures in Romania — took in just $274,000.That bested (or is it “worsted”?) the all-time low mark set by 1991 indie feature “Rich Girl,” according to Box Office Mojo.
For movies released in at least 600 venues, “Transylmania” ranked third, behind New Market’s 2005 “recut” of “The Passion of the Christ” and 2008 indie drama “Proud American.”
