‘Freaky’ Tops the Box Office Charts for Second Weekend in a Row With Another $1.2 Million

While we wait for a VOD release, which we understand is coming very, very soon, Christopher Landon‘s slasher-comedy Freaky continues to dominate the pandemic box office.

The body-swapping slasher-comedy opened in 2,472 theaters across the United States on November 13 and came in at #1 on the box office charts, making $3.7 million domestically. This past weekend, Freaky added another $1.22 million to its box office total, enough to keep it at the top of the charts in the #1 slot. The domestic total is now $5,592,295.

Interestingly, according to Box Office Mojo‘s reliable reporting, it looks like Freaky actually left some 415 theaters between its debut weekend and this past weekend.

Blumhouse and Universal’s Freaky was made on a reported production budget of just $6 million, so the film should have no trouble recouping its total production/marketing spend.

From what we gather, it’s coming to VOD on December 4th.

Amblin and Focus Features’s Come Play, which is now available on VOD, came in at #4 on the weekend charts. That brings the movie’s box office total to just over $8 million.

A depressing reflection of the current times in regards to the domestic box office is that Godzilla vs. Kong was supposed to open this past weekend. Alas, it’s been pushed to 2021.

The film will be coming to theaters in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

We built a very good relationship with Iconic through Terrifier 2 and now with the upcoming Terrifier 3, so we are honored to keep this train rolling and continue to deliver fun and exciting horror movies to our incredible fanbase and beyond.”

The cast is stacked with familiar faces, including Tony Todd (Candyman), Jeffrey Combs (Re-Animator / Would You Rather), Danielle Harris (Halloween 4, 5 / Hatchet 2), Tim Reid (Stephen King’s IT / WKRP Cincinnati), Dee Wallace (E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial / The Howling), Mark Holton (Leprechaun), Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp / A Nun’s Curse), Daniel Roebuck (The Fugitive / Final Destination), Dave Sheridan (Scary Movie / The Devil’s Rejects), Terry Alexander (Day of the Dead / Night of the Living Dead II), David Howard Thornton (Terrifier / Terrifier 2), Charles Edwin Powell (Exorcist III/Screamers), Bob Adrian (The Conjuring 2), Sydney Malakeh (Cheer Camp Killer), Wesley Holloway (Terrifier 2), Damian Maffei (The Strangers: Prey at Night), and Michael Leavy (Terrifier).

In the film, “As the Keenan’s try to bring their family closer together, they unwittingly enter themselves into a game of life or death. With four deranged killers patrolling the halls of their hotel and competing for the most creative kills, the odds are definitely stacked against them.”
