Box Office Numbers, DVD Sales, and Television Viewership for the week of September 21 to 27, 2012.
Box Office: Surprisingly, House At The End of The Street not only debuted in the top 3, but made back all its budget already. While maybe not the most lucrative horror film this year, it is considered a success. Dredd debuts to average numbers, but based on the budget – the film is already a flop. REC 3 is still hanging in there, folks!
