Prisoners emerged as the highest grossing film this past weekend, with over 20 million dollars made in gross profits. Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal’s latest drama made over seven million on its opening day, leading into the success that followed. Insidious: Chapter 2 fell behind after doing so well this past weekend, with its sales coming out to be half of what they were. Battle Of The Year made a lackluster performance in its debut weekend, with a measly five million made. To put this in perspective, the last dance flick to pull in numbers south of ten million with such a wide release was 2008’s How She Move.
