Horror Sales: Gone, dvd uprising, and another tv hiatus.

Box office numbers, DVD sales, and television viewership for February 24 – March 1, 2012.

The psychological thriller with slight horror hints, Gone, debuts poorly at the Box Office. The Inkeepers is still barely hanging on, but Kill List falls off the chart.
