Awesome! Still haven't seen it yet, prob going on Sun. I love seeing horror films top the box office, especially when (based on the word-of-mouth) they seem to deserve it.

Wow! I expected Zombieland to do about $11 mil tops. Absolutely fantastic, saw it last night & loved it. If it does well, they could easily make another one. I would LOVE to see the further adventures of Tallahasee.

The highest-grossing zombie flick is Snyder's DotD with $59m. This looks like it has a shot at topping that.

However, unlike those turds, Zombieland is actually a lot of fun. |

not sure how accurate, but IMDb has Friday of $9.4 mil with possible weekend @ $24-28 mil. Either way, that is awesome and the movie totally deserves it and would love to see another. |

Wow. http://www.deadline.com/hollywood/fr...rmal-activity/
This doesn't happen that often, so I don't blame Paramount for crowing about its freakishly good numbers for Paranormal Activity, which will do $500K this weekend on 33 screens playing ONLY after midnight. That's a $15K screen average for midnight business. Yikes! It did $150K Thursday and took in another $200K on Friday after selling out every theater. The pic was originally acquired by Paramount bigwig Adam Goodman back when he was at DreamWorks to remake it. (The hype is that Steven Spielberg was so freaked out when he first saw it that he returned it to DreamWorks in a garbage bag...) Then Paramount had a preview, and the movie played well, so the studio was looking for an approach to release it. What began as a heavy screening plan and college outreach to get fans to make it their own morphed last week into a release in 12 college towns doing only midnight shows. Some $80K business later, Paramount added 21 midnight screens this week, including LA's ArcLight (which sold out its 15 midnight shows for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday combined). "It's a little movie that's scaring peoples brains out," a studio exec emailed me. Plus, it's got 93% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. I gotta say, that TV ad campaign is effective, too. Next week, Paranormal Activity will expand to somewhere around 100 screens playing full day schedules. It will be interesting to see how big the overall fan base is after the college Facebook Twitter folks have really embraced this film and made it their own. |

Not that surprised by Zombieland's take. I've seen more ads for that movie than any other film in recent memory. Not just in theaters, but on tv, the web, and in print as well. What was the advertising budget for this thing?

Glad to see Zombieland do so well. The movie is a blast and deserves it.

Re: Weekend Box-Office (10/2-10/4) Zombies ate meatballs
I saw Zombieland this weekend and thought it was terrific fun. SO I am glad to see it do well. I would def, be up for more adventures in Zombieland if Woody is back.
And Me, my girlfriend, and maybe my mom will be seeing Capitalism next weekend and I am very excited to see that one. Looks great. Oh it and saddens me people are paying for some silly Toy Story shit but at least Disney is putting em out in a double feature so its not a total ripoff. |

chris_sc77 complementing a movie that runs less than two hours. -screwy- Time in: Zombieland was a blast. Unfortunately at my theater they didn't show the end credits. Still, it was great seeing Mickey Knox, Jesse "Please don't call me Michael Cera" Eisenberg, Emma "Yeah I Know I'm Superbad" Stone, and Little Miss Sunshine all gung-ho. All we needed was an appearance by Reginald Vel Johnson also searching for Twinkies. |
