Box Office Report: The Possession Possesses Labor Day Audiences
The horror film The Possession posted one of the best Labor Day weekend openings on record, with only the Halloween remake released in 2007 scoring a better four-day holiday weekend opening than Lionsgate's demonic possession pic. Things weren't so rosy for the kids' movie Oogieloves In The BIG Balloon Adventure which had the dishonor of taking the title for the worst opening by any movie showing in more than 2000 theaters.
Meanwhile, Lawless, which started the holiday weekend off early by opening on Wednesday, August 29th, earned an okay $15 million over its first six days in release. And 'okay' could be used to describe the entire summer of 2012 at the movies. Attendance is down, with The Hollywood Reporter reporting this summer saw the worst overall ticket sales since 1993.
