ghastlyloveBox Office Numbers, DVD Sales, and Television Viewership for the week of May 24 to May 30, 2013.

Box Office: Started tracking The Ghastly Love of Johnny X, an indie scifi musical. It seems that horror and scifi films are falling off the chart rather quickly.

11 12 Oz The Great and Powerful $1,050,000 (Total: $232,613,000)
28 21 Jack The Giant Slayer $177,000 (Total: $65,039,000)

Television Viewership: We’ve entered the realm of summer hiatus and reruns. We know this by the lack of new shows and lots of reruns and the fact that the most scifi watched program on television was a fake documentary about mermaids.

Hannibal – 2,386,000
Arrow (rerun) – 1,476,000
