Friday The 13th 2009 hurdling towards 90 million worldwide!

According to www.boxofficemojo.com here are the figures for Friday The 13th 2009:

Domestic: $64,896,850 72.9%
+ Foreign: $24,112,932 27.1%
--------------------------------
= Worldwide: $89,009,782

If you want to keep up with these totals, HALLOWEENY on the Friday The 13th Forum has been doing daily posts to keep us up to date in this thread. I'd love to see this movie get to $100 million, but let's be honest-- that will never happen. Ninety-million is a good figure, and it passes Rob Zombie's opus of shit-- Halloween quite easily. Take that Rob, you Friday The 13th-hating motherfucker.

Oh yeah, while you are here read and add my personal blog!

Friday The 13th dethrones Saw to once again become the most successful horror franchise!

1. Friday the 13th-$372.6 million (11 movies)
2. Saw-$342.5 million (5 movies)
3. A Nightmare on Elm Street-$307.4 million (8 movies)
4. Scream-$293.6 million (3 movies)
5. Halloween-$275.1 million (9 movies)

Right now, Saw is on target to once again grab the title from the Friday with Saw 6 coming out this October. ANOES also has a golden opportunity to pass the Friday series up for the first time if the remake was to make $80 million or more, but it will not pass saw. 'Scream' is out of the picture, even if a part 4 does come out...it will need more sequels to get the title. 'Halloween' is a very very far shot. I don't think it will ever gain that title. With 'Friday' resurgent again, probably as popular as it was in it's heydays, it can very well fight off Saw when more sequels are made. It's very obvious that Friday holds this title right now because it has the most sequels, but also take into consideration that if Fridays dollars was adjusted for inflation, 'Saw' would still be far far beyond. The original 'Friday' which grossed $40 million, would equal to over $100 million in today's dollars, something not even 'Saw' was able to accomplish.

86% drop: Friday The 13th week 2 is a bomb at the box office.

As reported at the Friday The 13th blog & Variety:

…Friday for “13th,” which was playing at 3,105, registered an 86% drop. Though steep, such declines are typical for slasher fare. In its first eight days, “13th” has pulled in $50 million.

Much like a lot of the latter installments of the franchise, Friday The 13th started off strong and then nose dived in week two. It seems to be a common practice in slasher films, but more so Friday The 13th sequels as most of the post-Part IV sequels dropped off sharply after week 1.
