It was another slow weekend at the Box Office, especially for sci fi films as most of the Summer films have dropped out of the Top 20 now and the new horror entry
Dream House only managed to scare its way Number 6 slot. And a major bit of Hollywood injustice saw the horror comedy
Tucker and Dale vs. Evil only playing on a few screens across the nation in its theatrical debut and thus it did not even register on the charts. Had that one received even
moderate exposure in theaters, especially on such a slow weekend, it probably could have cleaned up considering it was made on such a modest budget. The Box Office will pick up as far as sci fi is concerned in the coming weeks as
Real Steel (Oct 7th),
The Thing (Oct 14th),
Paranormal Activity 3 (Oct 21st),
In Time (Oct 28th), and more will hit theaters in the coming weeks. You can get a look at all of this Fall's upcoming movies
