Horror Sales: Paranormal Activity 4, Chernobyl Diaries, and Deals From The Darkside

Box Office Numbers, DVD Sales, and Television Viewership for the week of November 2 to November 9, 2012.

Box Office Numbers: Surprisingly, Hotel Transylvania is still the top horror-themed movie despite being for kids. Paranormal Activity 4 is continuing to under-perform while Silent Hill II will probably just barely make back its budget in two or three weeks. I also started tracking a new film called Post Mortem.

7 3 Hotel Transylvania $5,486,000 (Total: $138,553,000)
8 4 Paranormal Activity 4 $5,343,000 (Total: $50,620,000)
10 5 Silent Hill: Revelation 3D $4,488,000 (Total: $15,083,000)
12 7 Sinister $3,511,000 (Total: $45,054,000)
20 12 Frankenweenie $980,000 (Total: $33,554,000)
24 23 ParaNorman $293,000 (Total: $55,295,000)
36 49 The Possession $125,000 (Total: $49,031,000)
41 25 House At The End of The Street $92,000 (Total: $31,200,000)
82 66 V/H/S $4,000 (Total: $98,000)
86 82 Wake In Fright $2,000 (Total: $37,000)
105 99 Post Mortem $240 (Total: $9,700)

DVD Top 30: The chart shows nothing too interesting, except that Chernobyl Diaries has debuted to pretty crappy numbers. Don’t be surprised if Hocus Pocus disappears once again next week.

2 2 The Avengers $4,727,000 (Total: $58,487,000)
3 1 Prometheus $3,055,000 (Total: $8,973,000)
