‘TAKERS’ TAKES BOX OFFICE DESPITE ‘EXORCISM’S’ 668 THEATER ADVANTAGE!

#1 Takers (Screen Gems/Sony) -32% Sunday for $20.6M
#2 The Last Exorcism (Lionsgate) -45% Sunday for $20.4M

As of this afternoon, Sony is claiming the victory for Screen Gems’ Takers based on revised estimates including numbers from Sunday where The Last Exorcism fell behind, dropping 45% on Sunday to Takers‘ 32% and that allowed Takers to win the weekend with $20.6 million to Exorcism‘s $20.4 million. It’s still early and one can expect the numbers to be contested with it being so close, but right now, it looks like Takers has indeed kept Lionsgate from having their first-ever third weekend at #1.

If the numbers do hold up, it would mark the third number one film for producer Will Packer after ‘Obsessed‘ with Idris Elba and Beyonce, and ‘Stomp The Yard‘ with Columbus Short and Chris Brown.

It had been reported initially that had it been in the same amount of theaters as ‘The Last Exorcism,’ Will Packer‘s latest vehicle,’Takers,’ would have been number one at the box office. Instead, it would have to settle for second place, but rejoice in the fact that it had the best per-screen average of any movie this past week.

Playing in 2,206 theaters and starring Idris Elba, Michael Ealy, Chris Brown, Matt Dillon, Hayden Christensen, and T.I., the heist film took in $21 million at the gate with an average of $9,519 per theater. Many box office analysts predicted the film would take in less than $10 million for the entire weekend.

It’s the second consecutive week in which experts underestimated the power of urban films. When Ice Cube‘s ‘Lottery Ticket‘ opened last week and grossed $10 million, it’s take was also better than expected.

Congratulations to everyone involved in the film! Now, get to work on the sequel!
