"The Last Exorcism" Takes First Place This WeekendPosted: August 29th, 2010 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
 
Eli Roth's "The Last Exorcism" took the top spot this weekend with slightly over $21 million at the domestic box office. That was good enough to surpass the other wide release, "Takers," which grossed $21 million.
"Takers" had the highest per-theater average of $9,519 and has already surpassed its $20 million budget. "The Last Exorcism" also surpassed it's budget, which was only $1.8 million.
Sylvester Stallone's $80 million "The Expendables" fell to third place, but added another $9.5 million for a domestic total of $82 million. "Eat Pray Love" and "The Other Guys" followed with weekend estimates of $7 million and $6.6 million, respectively.
Meanwhile, the re-release of James Cameron's "Avatar" launched at 812 locations, with a less-than-stellar $4 million, of which $1.6 million came from 125 IMAX theaters. Internationally, the film grossed another $4.3 million, which was enough to raise the foreign total passed the $2 billion mark.

Funnily enough Takers was probably a lot better than Last Exorcism. LOL @EliRoth on twitter retweeting all these posts from people who apparently liked that trash. It's ridiculous how people are still failing at executing the formula set by a film made almost 40 years ago.

According to Boxofficemojo, The Exorcist only cost $1.8 million to make so that is a rather huge profit margin to make the first weekend. I'm going to guess that will will make another $20 mil and will be spawning at least 3 other sequels.
Hey Sly! Hurry up with The Expendables sequel!

takers was cool.like heat,cool hiest and set up,guns on main street.
the worst part of the movie was when ti died,i laughed so hard.
there wasn't any character development at all.you just kinda get thrown in with these characters.i would have liked to learn about them a little more.But when you think about it,heat didnt ether so.
i liked it though

@ TDK - Have you seen this movie? It's nothing like 'The Exorcist' at all. This movie isn't even scary.

It's nice to know they're all making a sickly amount of money.

I watched Takers because I'm friends with the Manager of Idris Elba / Zoe Saldana. And I love Michael Ealy. I have to say, it was ok. I honestly thought The Losers was more entertaining. I was going to catch The Last Exorcism this coming weekend but friends are telling me to skip it.

heard Last Exorcism is actually really good, but the idiots who usually like this kind of thing didn't get it.

Wow, so the numbers were so close that the final tally came in and has Takers "taking" the #1 spot. If so, then wow indeed. And they did it in less theaters than The Last Exorcism nonetheless. Impressive.
