Horror, Scifi, Thriller Box Office Numbers, DVD Sales, and Television Viewership for the week of September 5 to September 11, 2014.
Box Office: Guardians of the Galaxy gets its fifth week at #1, but it’s still a shabby week for sales overall. Guardians was in the top spot and it only grossed 13mil this week. The only plus side is that two independent horror films – Innocence and The Remaining – were able to debut in the top 40. Remember to check them out in theaters, folks!
