As we move into the holiday season (Halloween is just around the corner), two animated features occupy the Top Ten:

1. Sinister (Summit/Lionsgate) NEW [2,527 Runs] R Friday $7.4M, Weekend $17.5M

2. Taken 2 (Fox) Week 2 [3,706 Runs] PG13 Friday $7.0M (-62%), Weekend $23.0M, Cume $87.0M

3. Argo (Warner Bros) NEW [3,232 Runs] R Friday $5.9M, Weekend $18.0M

4. Hotel Transylvania (Sony Animation) Week 3 [3,375 Runs] PG Friday $4.2M, Weekend $19.0M, Cume $104.0M

5. Here Comes The Boom (Sony) NEW [3,014 Runs] PG Friday $3.6M, Weekend $11.9M

6. Pitch Perfect (Universal) Week 3 [2,787 Runs] PG13 Friday $3.0M, Weekend $9.2M, Cume $35.9M

10. Atlas Shrugged Part 2 (Atlas) NEW [1,012 Runs] PG13 Friday $691K, Weekend $1.9M

Hotel Transylvania continues to hold nicely, even as Frankenweenie sputters in 8th place. It'll be a surprise if it claws past $50 million. (Did the black-and-white three dee drive people away?)

So maybe it ends up a revival-circuit favorite like Nightmare Before Christmas.
