Both Gone Girl and Annabelle were released this weekend, and it was the closest fight for first place yet! They each far exceeded expectations, nearly reaching the $40 million club. Gone Girl narrowly nabbed the top spot with $37.5 million, while Annabelle came in behind with $37.1 million. David Fincher's Gone Girl is sure to be a heavy contender during the awards season next year, and it's Fincher's most successful film to date, surpassing his 2002 film Panic Room ($30 million). Annabelle couldn't quite reach the same success as its predecessor film, The Conjuring ($41.9 million), but with its $6.5 production budget compared to The Conjuring's $20 million budget, there's surely very little to be upset about. It's a huge win for what is being considered the best horror movie of the year. These two films led the way in what was the most successful week for October in box office history.
The Equalizer dropped to third place this week, but still managed a very good showing, bringing in $19 million. The Boxtrolls pulled ahead of The Maze Runner for 4th place, with an added $12.4 million, and The Maze Runner ran its total up to $73.5 million with a weekend gross of $11.6 million. All of this week's top 5 movies have also been having great success overseas.
This week, we have plenty of big new movies to look forward to. Dracula Untold, The Judge, and Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day are all coming to theaters this Friday. All three of these movies are also in the running for this month's Pick My Flick, so be sure to vote if you haven't already. Thanks for reading! See ya next week!
