America's love of Rob Zombie trumped its fatigue of the horror genre as Halloween surpassed all expectations on this Labor Day weekend with over $30 million for four days. Balls of Fury opened just below my prediction at about $14 million, as did Death Sentence with a shade above $5 million. The week-to-week decline for War was surprisingly high, while The Bourne Ultimatum actually saw an increase from the previous 3-day period. My other picks were all pretty close, which isn't bad when trying to go from a 3-day to a 4-day period, and put me in the top 50 for the weekly contest. Next week, Oscar® season begins as 3:10 to Yuma opens into a traditionally soft market.
