Entertainment Weekly: The box office was alive thanks to the Evil Dead on Friday. The $17 million horror remake, from TriStar, FilmDistrict, and Ghost House took in a terrific $10.1 million on its debut Friday — the same amount that fellow horror release Mama earned in its first 24 hours en route to a $28.4 million weekend earlier this year. Evil Dead will likely be more frontloaded than that film due to built-in anticipation from fans of the 1981 original, but it could still earn about $27 million over the Friday-to-Sunday period.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
its a very good remake. i hope it gets more profit in the coming weeks, it is very rare to see a remake stand toe to toe with the original and i hope if ever there are more remakes to come they should try what evil dead did...they pay homage to the original, they even tried something new and it was somewhat unpredictable.
I was expecting a figure around 25m, but that ain't too low either.
