The found-footage film took a suspiciously satanic number on a spooky weekend at the US box office that saw Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire top the charts
Late Night With the Devil, a found footage horror about a 1977 live television broadcast which accidentally unleashes evil into America’s living rooms, took $666,666 on Sunday in the US.
As Variety reports, the verified takings for the film contributed to an overall $2.8m weekend take – a slightly less satanic figure.
While Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire topped the charts with $45m in the US – and $61m globally – horror also drummed up good business elsewhere, with Sydney Sweeney’s nun frightener Immaculate debuting at number four with $5.3m.
Dune: Part Two retained the second spot, adding to its $233m US total (it’s now on $574m globally). Meanwhile Kung Fu Panda 4 drops to third place after two weeks at No 1 in the US, ahead of its UK opening this Friday, with a $133m domestic total.
Cinemas around the world are gearing up for this weekend’s release of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which is widely anticipated to ravage the Easter box office.
