Weekend box office: “Ladies like ‘Final Destination’ and ‘Steve’”
Per the Daily Variety:
Women were the primary moviegoers in the first three days of the Labor Day frame, putting Warner Bros./New Line’s “The Final Destination” and Fox’s comedy “All About Steve” in a near dead heat.
Females from two different age brackets split, with the under-25 demo making “Final Destination” number one in its second weekend with $12.4 million and the over 25 crowd shelling out $12.2 million to see the Sandra Bullock-Bradley Cooper starrer “All About Steve.”
Bet you didn’t know this:
“Final Destination’s” finesse for notching the top spot again isn’t surprising as most Labor Day weekend moviegoers typically have a penchant for horror fare. In previous years, such titles as 2007’s “Halloween” reboot and installments of the “Jeepers Creepers” franchise have been the №1 choices at the multiplex.
Labor Day = Horror Movies. Who knew!
