The newest teen thriller to add to a repertoire of already lackluster movies, The Covenant, earned the lowest box office sum for a weekend number one in three years. According to SONY and Reuters, the film about undead teens with superpowers took home a paltry $9 million dollars while Hollywoodland opened to another dismal sum, $6.7 million. The Boston Curse (Ben Affleck) is alive and well. The only movie to open with less than $10 million AND be at the top of the weekend box office totem pole was none other than David Spade’s waste of celluloid, Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star exactly three years ago. Is this yet another sign that people are foregoing the theatre experience? Not at all. It’s the horrible movies that are released. So when and what’s going to save dwindling ticket sales? None other than The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning opening October 4th. C&V suggestion: Wait for the NetFlix.
