HORROR RULES AT BOX OFFICE
Horror held sway at theaters again as "Jeepers Creepers 2" sunk its claws into audiences, debuting over the long Labor Day weekend as the top movie with $18.5 million at the box office.
"Jeepers Creepers 2" deposed another horror sequel, "Freddy vs. Jason," which had been the No. 1 movie for the previous two weekends, The Associated Press reports. "Freddy vs. Jason" fell to No. 6 with $8.1 million, bringing its 17-day total to $73.4 million, according to industry estimates Monday.
Hollywood had a brisk finish to the summer-blockbuster season, with revenues up for the third straight weekend. The top 12 movies took in $101.2 million over Labor Day weekend, an 11 percent increase over the same period last year.
The industry rang up $3.87 billion in ticket sales domestically from early May through Labor Day, beating summer 2002's revenue record by about 2 percent. Factoring in higher admission prices this year, though, the number of tickets sold fell about 2 percent.
