Halloween weekend is usually a time for horror films to rule the box office, however, with very few big releases opening, "Michael Jackson's This Is It" was able to grab the No. 1 spot with $21 million. Its current total stands at $33 million with $101 million worldwide,
This news has made Sony make the unsurprising announcement that the film will stay in theaters until the Thanksgiving weekend.
"Paranormal Activity" continued its Cinderella story with a strong $16.5 million second place showing. "Law Abiding Citizen," "Couples Retreat" and "Saw VI" rounded out the top five.
"Saw VI" has had the poorest showing of all the "Saw" movies, could it be that we've reached our torture porn limit.
The only other new release of the weekend was "The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day" which only brought in $462,000 on 68 screens. Its per screen average was just under $6,800 which tells me that the cult following of the first film is not rubbing off on the second.
