Box office report: 'Dracula' can't suck the blood out of 'Gone Girl'

"David Fincher’s adaptation of Gone Girl took the top spot again, only falling 30 percent from its debut weekend, with an estimated $26.8 million. The Fox pic, which cost around $61 million to produce, has grossed $78.3 million domestically so far and looks poised to go on to be Fincher’s highest earner (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button holds the current title with $127.5 million).

Universal’s Dracula Untold, an origin story of the classic character starring Luke Evans, opened in second place with $23.5 from 2,887 theaters, including IMAX.

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, Disney’s PG-rated adaptation of Judith Viorst’s 1972 children’s book starring Steve Carell and Jennifer Garner, opened in third place with a strong $19.1 million from 3,088 locations.

In a weekend of mostly good news, The Judge, the Robert Downey Jr./Robert Duvall courtroom and family drama, missed the mark by a few million and opened to a soft $13.33 million from 2,700 locations.

Addicted, Lionsgate’s adultery thriller, opened to $7.6 million from around 800 locations, surpassing its modest expectations ($3-$4 million) and budget (under $5 million)."

By the way, IMDb seems to have restored Box Office Mojo to its former condition, and is also using the Mojo Facebook account for current updates.
