'Scary Movie 4' Resuscitates the Horror Genre with $40 Mil
Sunday, April 16, 2006

For the first time in years the horror genre was hurting, quite a bit in fact... that is until today! Bob and Harvey Weinstein returned to the boxoffice lead as Scary Movie 4 (review) debuted with about $41 million, the first No. 1 opening for the new company founded by the former Miramax bosses, according to the Hollywood Reporter. It was the best Easter weekend debut ever, beating the $30.1 million opening of "Panic Room" in 2002, according to studio estimates Sunday. With the success of "Scary Movie 4," Bob Weinstein said he hopes to have a fifth film in the horror-spoof franchise in theaters over Easter weekend next year.
