Contagion is the top movie at the Box Office this week, and I’m counting it towards horror/scifi because I find a disease killing everyone to be pretty horrific. Shark Night 3D and Apollo 18 have flip flopped spots and are currently fighting to get close to $20mil. At this point, it’s safe to say Fright Night is a big flop. But, it appears last week was the final week Insidious was in theatres. It managed to rake in a little more than $54mil. Not bad for a little indie film made on a budget of not more than $1.5 mil.

Nothing new to see on the DVD Top 30 chart except the debut of The Vampire Diaries season two DVD. Honestly, a lot more people bought it than I had originally predicted.

5 3 Dexter Season Five $1,838,000 (Total: $14,588,000)
13 6 Priest $563,000 (Total: $5,571,000)
True Blood has about a million fans who I will call “fair viewer friends.” They’ll watch the show if there’s nothing better on, but jump ship if there’s something hipper to view. I think this explains why the number of viewers bounces around so much. The Vampires had a strong season three debut and The Secret Circle, CW’s new witch show, pulled in the same amount of viewers. Also, Death Valley continues to plummet…The chances of a season two are highly unlikely.
