Add The Grudge 2 to the 2005 list

Horror Update:

"The Grudge held strong in the U.K. It was No. 2 behind The Edge of Reason with a weekend gross of $2,814,246 (£1.6 million), off just 16% from last weekend (-28% including the previews). The 10-day cume is $8,881,497 (£5 million). It will pass the final total of Dawn of the Dead this week. "

"The Forgotten opened in nine more markets, which helped it gross $4,411,352 from 1,464 screens in 24 countries for a $17,791,246 total. Its best start came from Germany where it grossed $1,571,706 from 355 screens. That rather soft start put it at fourth place behind three holdovers, but ahead of fellow opener The Manchurian Candidate. Strong starts came from smaller markets like Austria ($273,373 on 51), Belgium ($328,21 on 23), and Singapore ($166,343 on 20).

Holdovers didn't hold too well. In Australia the picture tumbled 53% in its second week to $522,889 from 199 for a $1,922,333 total. That dropped it down to fourth place on the Australia chart. The Forgotten looks like it will follow Secret Window's path and finish with around $45 million. Thanks to a lengthy run in Japan Secret Window is about to cross that mark as it already has $44,184,811."

"Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid has had all sorts of returns. In India it had a record-setting opening which led to a stunning $4,261,984 total while in Australia it could only muster $1,768,839. Most recent was France's solid $930,855 opening from 245 screens next to the U.K.'s pathetic $356,833 start from 157 screens. Overall the movie grossed $1,727,527 from 725 screens in 19 markets for a $25,821,338 total."

"Exorcist: The Beginning had a terrific launch in Italy. Placing first the picture grossed $3.6 million from 402 screens. That bested Red Dragon by 57%, Hollow Man by 64%, and the director's cut of The Exorcist by 71%. The horror/thriller was release there by Eagle Pictures. In Warner Brothers' markets the movie grossed $1.4 million from 1,155 screens in 18 markets for a $18.4 million total."

Alien Vs Predator raised it's international total to $60M.

WorldWide Totals for movies currently on INTL release:

Exorcist The Beginning: $60.2
Anacondas: The Hunt For The Blood Orchid: $57.3
The Forgotten: $84.3
The Grudge: $103.3
Alien Vs Predator: $140.3M

Nice totals for the current horror movies. SAW wasn't released in any new markets this week, but it's WW total is currently at $54m.

I think Exorcist will finish with around $75M.
Anacondas 2 with about $67M.
Forgotten with $100M+.
Grudge over $135M.
AVP has a chance at $150M.
