Insidious still doing really well on the DVD Top 30 Chart. For a horror film created on a budget of only $1,500,000, Insidious has grossed over $60,000,000 with theatre and DVD totals combined. Clearly the best performing horror film of 2011 so far. On the flip side, Dylan Dog debuts on the chart with less than a million in sales. Clearly the worst performing horror film of 2011 so far.
