The Bye Bye Man Says Hello to Great Box Office Take! New Viral Video!
Having seen The Bye Bye Man (review), in theaters now, over the weekend, I can’t help but feel as if lots of people rode it unnecessarily hard. Is it a perfect movie? No. But its heart is definitely in the right spot, and it’s lots of fun at times.
Like it or not, the film over-performed this weekend at the box office, and that just may spell h-e-l-l-o to a sequel. I mean, it did for Ouija, and look how well that turned out!
In any event, according to Box Office Mojo, STX’s The Bye Bye Man came in with a fifth place finish as it took advantage of its Friday the 13th release date. The PG-13 chiller outperformed expectations, delivering an estimated $13.38 million over the weekend and is expected to top $15 million for the four-day MLK holiday, which would more than double the film’s $7.4 million production budget.
Internationally the film debuted in eleven markets and brought in an estimated $1.3 million, including a seventh place opening in the UK with an estimated $700k. The film will debut in Brazil on February 9 followed by releases in Mexico (March 17), Italy (April 19), Germany (April 20), and Spain (May 5).
