Zero Dark Thirty Tops The US Box Office, With A Haunted House & Gangster Squad The Runners Up

January 14, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

zero-dark-thirty-posterIn its first week of wide release, Zero Dark Thirty has topped the US Box Office chart, taking $24 million as it expanded onto over 2,800 screens from just over a hundred. Its success came as a surprise to many, who’d expected Gangster Squad to top the chart.

In the end the gangster noir placed third with $16.7 million, which isn’t a bad start, but probably not what Warner was hoping for its star studded movie, which has had a lot of buzz ever since the screenplay first started doing the rounds in Hollywood.

Proving spoof horror can still find an audience, the Marlon Wayans starring A Haunted House placed second on the chart with $18.8 million.

Those were the only new entries on the chart, but a couple films got a bump from the Oscar nominations, with Lincoln rising 16% from the previous weekend to take its US takings across the $150 million mark. Silver Linings Playbook also got a 38% bump to return to the top 10, thanks to its eight Oscar nominations.

Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of January 11th-13th.

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 Zero Dark Thirty $24.0 $29.4
2 A Haunted House $18.8 $18.8
3 Gangster Squad $16.7 $16.7

Texas Chainsaw 3D Tops The US Box Office

January 7, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Texas-Chainsaw-3DGoing into this weekend, most box office watcher had expected Django Unchained and The Hobbit to fight it out for the top spot, with few thinking Texas Chainsaw 3D would be in the mix. In the end it was the horror movie that topped the chart with $23 million, far more than most expected.

However Django and Les Miserables had something to cheer about, as they both crossed the $100 million mark in the US.

There was one other first timer on the top 10 list, the Gus Van Sant movie Promised Land. The Matt Damon and John Krasinski starring film expanded from 22 screens to over 1,600 and took $4.3 million, which is a decent but unremarkable expansion.

Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of January 4th-6th.

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 Texas Chainsaw 3D $23.0 $23.0
2 Django Unchained $20.0 $106.3
3 The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey $17.5 $263.8
4 Les Miserables $16.1 $103.6
5 Parental Guidance $10.1 $52.7
6 Jack Reacher $9.3 $64.8
7 This Is 40 $8.5 $54.6
8 Lincoln $5.2 $143.9
9 The Guilt Trip $4.5 $31.2
10 Promised Land $4.3 $4.6

Texas Chainsaw 3D Trailer – Leatherface is back

September 14, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

What started as an ultra-cheap 1974 splatter-fest from Tobe Hooper continues to mine as much money as possible from punters with Leatherface returning with an extra dimension in Texas Chainsaw 3D. The idea with this one is to go back and tell us what happened just after the very first movie (the new film apparently ignores all the other sequels). It’s believed Leatherface and his family have disappeared, but then a young woman discovers she’s inherited a remote Texan house. Suffice to say when she and her friends head there, it doesn’t turn out too well. The film hits cinemas early next year.
