Here are the studio estimates:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.  Taken 2 ($50 million)<\/p>\n<p>2.  Hotel Transylvania ($26.3 million)<\/p>\n<p>3.  Pitch Perfect ($14.7 million)<\/p>\n<p>4.  Looper ($12.2 million)<\/p>\n<p>5.  Frankenweenie ($11.5 million)<\/p>\n<p>6.  End of Watch ($4 million)<\/p>\n<p>7.  Trouble with the Curve ($3.8 million)<\/p>\n<p>8.  House at the End of the Street ($3.7 million)<\/p>\n<p>9.  The Master ($1.8 million)<\/p>\n<p>10.  Finding Nemo 3D ($1.5 million)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Analysis<\/p>\n<p>Before we get to the sequel cash-grab, that worked splendidly by the way, <em><strong>Pitch Perfect<\/strong><\/em> expanded to over 2400 theaters this past weekend and achieved a more than respectable showing.  Now up to just over $21 million domestically, the dark-horse flick from Universal is looking to position itself to have a decent run in the top ten; assuring that the production budget of $17 million will not be an issue.  <strong>Sleeper Hit<\/strong> in the making, folks.  And yes, that&#8217;s rare praise for Universal in a box office report.<\/p>\n<p>When <em>Taken<\/em> was released back in January 2009, no one expected it to perform similar to a blockbuster product.  Obviously it did, and naturally Twentieth Century Fox was going to milk this bloody action piece down the road.  Hello, <em><strong>Taken 2<\/strong><\/em>.  The producers had more confidence this time around; as they poured $45 million into creating, what the lovely critics are essentially pandering: The same movie, minus the special set of skills that made the first installment engaging.  By increasing the production budget from $25 million (first edition), international totals will have to provide this with a decent assist.  And they will.<\/p>\n<p>The other newbie, <strong>Frankenweenie<\/strong>, is following in the haunted footsteps of <em>ParaNorman<\/em> and <em>Hotel Transylvania<\/em> (which dropped just 38% in week #2), with capitalizing on the Halloween festivities.  For a 3D animation, the Tim Burton directed product had a relatively trim budget of just $39 million (part of that has to do with it using stop-motion animation instead of modern CGI).  It would appear that with Burton&#8217;s cache overseas, and the abundance of lauds from critics and audiences thus far, this could squeak out some sort of profit by the time November hits.<\/p>\n<p>This Friday, a small army of new guys enters the crowded October arena.  Four violent products in <em>Argo<\/em>, <em>Seven Psychopaths<\/em>, <em>Sinister<\/em>, and <em>Here Comes the Boom<\/em> (fam-friendly in a Rocky sort of way) all battle for top honors.  Reviews will be right here my fellow Shockers!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_106371\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-106371\" style=\"width: 570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Taken-2-Movie-Review.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Taken-2-Movie-Review.jpg\" alt=\"Taken 2 \" title=\"Taken 2 \" width=\"570\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-full wp-image-106371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Taken-2-Movie-Review.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Taken-2-Movie-Review-300x157.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-106371\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sequels always work on suckers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The box office results for the weekend of October 5th &#8211; 7th, has audiences flocking to see Liam Neeson and his special set of skills.
