![]() I will see both films on the service just as a test case/tax write-off, and I’ll let you know if anything goes horribly wrong in that Silver Shamrock kinda way. We’ll see if either of these two films does well or relatively okay on Video on Demand over the next month. So while you can argue that the theater boycott hurt the domestic box office, it held on to more of its audience comparatively than the last film did. In America, Ghost Dimensions made 56% of what The Marked Ones earned back in 2014 ($32m), which in turn made 60% of what Paranormal Activity earned back in 2012 ($60m). In the end, it made $18m domestic but a whopping $59m overseas, giving the $10m film a $77m worldwide gross. AMC has a revenue split deal with Paramount regarding the VOD profits, so they didn’t blackball either film. #Paranormal activity 6 movie#The sixth film in the 6-year old horror franchise opened with $8 million on 1,656 theaters, and it was actually the top movie of the (atrocious) weekend in the AMC theaters where it played. Paranormal Activity 6 is a more complicated situation. I would argue the whole point was to have the “gloss” or “prestige” of a national theatrical release purely to boost its VOD numbers, but that’s speculation on my part. On its face, it was a forgettable entry that presumably only went to theaters in the first place as a test case for the VOD program. It earned $10.4 million overseas for a $14.1m worldwide cume. The film did a little better overseas, where to my knowledge it was not blacklisted by the major theater chains as it was in America. It was out of theaters in three weeks with a whopping $3.7m domestic cume. The $15 million R-rated horror comedy debuted with $1.8m on 1,500 screens and then sank like a stone. The film was arguably intended to play primarily over Halloween weekend and then drop dead, which it did. It didn’t look enticing, the reviews were at first non-existent and then terrible, and it opened amid a flood of high-profile product and even a lot of high-profile horror product like Crimson Peak and Goosebumps. To be fair, A Scout’s Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse was never going to be a big hit. ![]()
