The first exorcism movie of 2012 The Devil Inside surprises the movie industry, showing that good movie marketing can generate an estimated $34.5 million in ticket sales. The Devil Inside movie tossed Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol from the top position with executing a unique documentary shooting style in capturing staged exorcisms.
The Devil Inside depicts the exorcism of Maria Rossi, a fictional character involved in a triple murder in Hartford, Connecticut. The exorcisms performed in the movie resemble Anneliese Michel, a German Catholic girl who died after enduring recurring exorcisms. The death of Anneliese sparked widespread controversy, as the two exorcists and Anneliese's parent were tried in an exorcism murder trial.
Paramount's can be proud of their $1 million exorcism movie making 34.5 times the production budget in the first weekend alone. Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible movie recently finished as the box office leader in previous two weeks. The Devil Inside managed to make $34.5 million on 2,285 screens. Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol placed second with another strong performance, scoring $20.5 million in ticket sales.
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows delivered $14.1 million in ticket sales, good for a good three place finish at the movie box office. Coming in fourth place, the consistent A Girl with A Dragon Tattoo generated $11.3 million in ticket sales. David Fincher murder thriller appears to be gathering steam for possible Academy Award nominations. Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked finished in fifth place with $9.5 million in ticket sales, bringing the estimated total to $111.6 million.
Running strong after the holiday box office, the War Horse seized $8.6 million in ticket sales to score sixth place in the weekend box office. We Bought a Zoo, also another holiday movie arranged for seventh place finish with $8.5 million in ticket sales, narrowly finishing below War Horse. The Adventures of Tintin collected $6.6 million in ticket sales in its third week in domestic release to finish in eighth place in the weekend box office.
With the passing of New Year's Eve, the ensemble New Year's Eve movie made $3.3 million in ticket sales to land in the ninth spot. Lastly, the costly end of the world movie The Darkest Hour descended downward with a meager $3.1 million in ticket sales. Shooting a good ending can help a future Alien movie enjoy a better box office showing. Next week, The Devil Inside will compete up against Contraband and Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol in another attempt to repossess the box office once again.
