Yeah, Gone Girl is #1 again, dropping only 29.6% for a second weekend of $26.4 million, but what I’m more interested in is that Dracula Untold number in second. Coming in with $23.5 million and an “A-” CinemaScore would lead you to believe we may have a serious hit on our hands, or at least something more impressive than the reviews would suggest. We’ll know more next week once we see how far it falls, but then again, it wasn’t the only “A-” CinemaScore for new movies this weekend.
As a matter of fact, both Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day and The Judge were given “A-” CinemaScores as they came in third and fifth respectively. Disney is having fun marketing the $18.3 million opening for Alexander as the #1 family comedy in the country while Warner Bros. is licking their wounds after the $13.1 million opening for The Judge.
The other new wide release in the top ten this weekend was Lionsgate’s Addicted in seventh with $7.4 million while the Meet the Mormons documentary fell out of the top ten, taking eleventh with $2.7 million.
