If you’re up on your movie news for the morning you’ve probably read how FilmDistrict has already greenlit Insidious 3 with Leigh Whannell once again set to write the screenplay, but on top of that, director James Wan has given an interview saying Insidious: Chapter 2 will be his last horror film. Not a bad way to go out as the second chapter in the franchise holds the largest single day take for a September release and is also the second highest grossing September opener ever with $40.2 million.
In second was Relativity’s The Family dipping slightly below estimates to a round $14 million followed by Riddick, which dropped even harder than estimated, falling 64% from its opening weekend with a second week $6.8 million.
Finally, of the films in the RopeofSilicon Box Office Challenge, Lionsgate’s Instructions Not Included made $600,000 more than estimated, finishing the weekend with $4.8 million.
Of note this weekend, Lee Daniels’ The Butler, This is the End and Pacific Rim are now all over $100 million domestically. 23 films have crossed the century mark domestically so far this year compared to 31 last year.
