Last Week’s Results

As expected, Paranormal Activity 4 came in number one at the box office over the weekend. The surprise came in that it scored far below the weakest sequel opening of the franchise ($10 million lower) and more than $20 million under its predecessor. In other news, Argo managed to hold on to a sizable portion of its audience in the second week, dropping less than 16% from last weekend bringing its two-week cume to $43 million.
