Your Weekly Horror Sales: Hollywood Down, Indie Up!

Insidious is the top horror dog at the Box Office this week. Scream 4 continues to take a beating. All the other “Hollywood” films are barely making any money, which is normal this far after release. But, it’s the indie films that are rising up the chart. Rubber and Stake Land are both in the mid-to-late 60s, in terms of most popular films in America. Black Swan is still just barely hanging on. Oh, and Dylan Dog debuts…

  • 10 9 Insidious $3,360,000 (Total: $48,980,000)
  • 14 5 Scream 4 $2,902,000 (Total: $36,219,000)
  • 18 Dylan Dog: Dead of Night $1,011,000
  • 32 30 I Am Number Four $183,000 (Total: $54,643,000)
  • 33 32 Red Riding Hood $177,000 (Total: $37,440,000)
  • 37 39 Beastly $129,000 (Total: $27,771,000)
  • 44 23 Sucker Punch $83,000 (Total: $36,089,000)
  • 65 93 Rubber $15,000 (Total: $69,000)
  • 67 79 Stake Land $13,000 (Total: $23,000)
  • 81 85 Black Swan $3,000 (Total: $106,954,000)

Harry Potter-mania is over, for now, although Deathly Hallows Part 1 is the #1 movie in DVD sales for the second week in a row.  Disney and Pixar are doing some sort of release party this past week, which caused old titles to pop back up and knock everyone else down. Safe to say at this point that The Walking Dead Season 1 will not be coming back from the dead…at least in terms of DVD sales.

  • 1 1 Harry Potter/Hallows Part 1 $27,887,000 (Total: $62,352,000)
  • 4 3 Narnia/Dawn Treader $4,954,000 (Total: $21,455,000)
  • 24 8 Black Swan $1,284,000 (Total: $14,573,000)

Horror/Scifi television is on the way out, too. The top dog is still Vampire Diaries, but it seems, at least for now that all the SyFy and A&E shows are done with their mini-seasons run. I’m fairly certain after next week, there will be no horror/scifi related shows on television. :

  • Vampire Diaries – 2,670,000
  • Supernatural – 2,001,000
  • Stargate Universe – 993,000
