Box Office Weekend: Vampires Still Bringing in the Buks

Posted by Anghus



While Paul Blart continues to tickle America's funny bone, a close second came Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, the third installment of the leather clad Vampire vs. Werewolf series that so far has brought in nearly a quarter of a billion dollars worldwide.

2 N Underworld: Rise of the Lycans SGem $20,700,000 - 2,942 - $7,036 $20,700,000 $35 1



Another film that brought a quarter of a billion dollars and features Vampires is, of course,TWILIGHT, which waw 22nd for the weekend.

22 18 Twilight Sum. $937,000 -46.2% 552 -352 $1,697 $185,986,000 $37 10

This proves once again just how relevant the Vampire/Love Story genre is, making the lack of Academy Award nominations for the film that much more frustrating. Stay tuned this week for the launch of our BOYCOTT THE ACADEMY AWARDS campaign we will be launching.
