The Possession Puts Horror On Top at the Box Office

Nope.

Horror, however, was on top at the box office over the extended weekend.  The Sam Raimi-produced The Possession took the number one slot.

The supernatural thriller starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Natasha Calis and Kyra Sedgwick grossed an estimated $21.3 million (4-day opening gross).  This puts the film as the second best Labor Day weekend performer behind Halloween.

The Labor Day weekend has been typically kind to horror/genre fare.  The Final Destination enjoyed a successful second weekend at number one in 2009.  Halloween hit number one in 2007 and before that Signs, Jeepers Creepers II and Jeepers Creepers were all Labor Day weekend hits.
