Box Office: Conan Fails to Conquor at The Theaters

Conan the Barbarian only managed to rise to the Number 4 spot at the Box Office in its opening weekend in the face of poor reviews and nominal buzz. Horror movie remake Fright Night only took the Number 6 spot in its debut, though it was a lower budget film and did not have as high of expectations.  More on the weekend results at this link.
