Horror Box Office for January 2011

I compiled these numbers for everyone, just so we can see how the horror genre was fairing in the market for the month of January 2011. Keep in mind, DVD and CD sales come in a week AFTER they are released. That is why the release of Saw 3D is not included, the numbers haven’t been reported yet. Also, these are not COMMULATIVE sales numbers, just for the month of January. Hopefully with I Spit On Your Grave, Chain Letter, and Hatchet II arriving on DVD this month we’ll see a lot more numbers next month!

Box Office –

  • The Right (as of today) 23,600,000
  • Black Swan – 37,200,000

DVD –

  • Resident Evil: Afterlife – $18,500,000
  • Piranha –  $4,500,000
  • The Last Exorcism – $6,600,000
  • Case 39 – $2,600,000

Expect to see The Roommate be successful when I report next month’s numbers. It is rumored to have made $15,600,000 this weekend.

Let me know how you feel about the sales reporting. Would you rather see them weekly, biweekly, or monthly?
