*According to the AP, the scary movie “The Last Exorcism” and the heist thriller “Takers” are in a photo finish for the top spot at the weekend box office.
“Takers” is showing in 2,206 theaters compared to the 2,874 screens for “Exorcism.” The caper film cost $30 million to make and had been expected to finish just under $20 million for the weekend.
According to studio estimates Sunday, “The Last Exorcism” had a thin lead with a $21.3 million debut, closely followed by “Takers” with a $21 million opening. They were close enough that rankings could change after final numbers are released Monday.
I saw “Takers” over the weekend. Great movie. A very slick action flick that isn’t trying to be anything more than it is. Some parts will have you on the edge of your seat, some will make you laugh, some make you sad, some will make you shake your head, and some will make you say “DAYUMMMM!” It’s an enjoyable way to pass some time.
I totally agree with you closetnerd. This movie had me on the edge of my seat, and I was not dissapointed! Well worth the cash set out. The theater was packed!
There is no doubt in my mind that there is a sequel screen play in the works,and I can’t wait!
