Horror flicks are doing well this year, as this week’s opener The Ring 2 proves. With $36 million it opens at number one, beating The Ring’s opening weekend in 2002 by more than double.
Mechanical failure sets in with Robots, dropping one place to number 2 with $21.8 million. Following at number 3 is The Pacifier with $12.5 million.
At number 4 we have a cold start for Ice Princess, a romantic comedy for teen girls demographics, only good for $7 million. Hitch hits the number 5 with $6.6 million, making clear the love doctor is about to resign, with a current total of $159 million.
