The latest genre film from Scott Stewart, the maker of Legion and Priest (Does he own a “Get out of Director’s Jail Free” card or what?) opened in 6th place with $8.8 million for the weekend, according to Box Office Mojo. The Dimension/Weinstein PG-13 extraterrestrial fright flick could only muster a C+ Cinemascore, ensuring it has a better future in a Redbox than on the big screen.
The box office continues to be anything but beautiful for last week’s flop Beautiful Creatures, down to 10th place with $3.4 million. That puts the witchy tweener romantic thriller two slots below Warm Bodies, which took in $4.7 million in its 4th week. Hollywood’s search for the next Twilight will have to look elsewhere.
Next weekend Jack kills giants in Bryan Singer’s mega-budget fairy tale and The Last Exorcism Part II answers the question as to whether The Last Exorcism was really a movie that needed to be franchised.
