Box office numbers, DVD sales, and television viewership for the week of June 22 to June 28, 2012.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Slayer debuts at #3 at the box office and makes back about a 1/3 of its overall budget. Not too shabby, and hopefully the summer months will keep its sales alive. Oddly, The Raven actually rose in sales this week.

SyFy’s reality-narrative show, School Spirits, pulls in less than a million viewers in its premiere. It’s a show about college campuses that are haunted. I could see why some people may not be interested, but I liked it.
