Horror Sales: Apollo 18, Shark Night 3D, & Paranormal Witness

It’s still sad to see horror films struggling so badly this summer at The Box Office. At least they’re making some bank, though. Also, there was a little bit of resurgence in sales for the three indie films I’ve been tracking.

3 Apollo 18 $12,087,000

5 Shark Night 3D $11,264,000

8 4 Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark $7,393,000 (Total: $18,833,000)

12 12 Harry Potter/Hallows 2 $3,952,000 (Total: $376,103,000)

14 15 Cowboys & Aliens $2,832,000 (Total: $97,213,000)

16 14 Final Destination 5 $2,155,000 (Total: $41,201,000)

20 9 Fright Night $1,872,000 (Total: $17,634,000)

26 22 Transformers/Moon $865,000 (Total: $350,625,000)

31 24 Super 8 $410,000 (Total: $126,587,000)

37 47 Attack The Block $151,000 (Total: $897,000)

38 39 X-Men: First Class $147,000 (Total: $146,317,000)

56 86 Insidious $16,000 (Total: $54,009,000)

74 98 Trollhunter $3,000 (Total: $248,000)

Wow, horror-scifi films have just kind of died off on the DVD Top 30 chart.

3 2 Dexter Season 5 $3,070,000 (Total: $12,750,000)

5 4 Priest $1,479,000 (Total: $5,008,000)

27 30 Sucker Punch $177,000 (Total: $8,262,000)

True Blood lost almost a million viewers this week. Weird. Paranormal Witness, Syfy’s latest show, debuted to modest numbers. Death Valley is beginning to fall even though I kind of enjoy it.

True Blood – 4,391,000

Haven – 1,463,000

Ghost Hunters – 1,442,000

Paranormal Witness – 1,262,000

Death Valley – 1,167,000

Vampire Diaries (rerun) – 980,000
