Horror Sales: Abe Lincoln, Ghost Rider, and School Spirits

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.

3 Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter $23,034,000

4 2 Prometheus $14,790,000 (Total: $113,336,000)

5 5 Snow White & The Huntsman $12,143,000 (Total: $141,185,000)

9 6 Men In Black 3 $9,001,000 (Total: $166,740,000)

23 15 Dark Shadows $394,000 (Total: $75,887,000)

36 65 The Raven $113,000 (Total: $15,961,000)

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance debuts at #2 on the DVD Top 30 Chart. Not a lot of action gong on otherwise.

25 24 Chronicle $504,000 (Total: $6,846,000)

29 26 Gone $379,000 (Total: $1,800,000)

 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.
