Through his Ghost House Pictures production company he makes small budget horror flicks, all of which have earned their money back in the first week of release. Following The Grudge’s success is Boogeyman. Enough to scare the competition away from the top spot, with some $19.5 million.
Second place is for romantic comedy The Wedding Date, featuring Debra Messing and Dermot Mulroney. Are We There Yet? lands on number 3 with $10.4 million and number 4 is for Hide and Seek, with $8.9 million. Close behind is Million Dollar Baby with $8.7 million.
