“Don’t Breathe,” a twisty story of a group of
teenage delinquents who pick the wrong
house to burglarize, dominated the late
summer box office, debuting to a potent
$26.1 million and topping charts. It joins a
long list of recent horror films such as “The
Purge: Election Year,” “The Conjuring 2,”
“Lights Out,” and “The Shallows” that have
all found success with audiences. It’s a
genre that’s particularly attractive to
studios, because these films don’t require
much in the way of special effects or star
power, making them cheaper to produce
than comic book adventures and science-
fiction fantasies.
Meanwhile, Kubo and the Two Strings moved up to third place this week, with Travis Knight's new stop-motion fantasy earning $7.9 million during its second weekend, and Sausage Party slipped from second place to fourth, earning $7.7 million.
