Friday the 13th is estimated to gross $45.2 million this weekend,  making it both the highest opening for a horror remake and the highest opening for a slasher film.  If estimates hold it could also be the second highest President’s Day opening in history.

But as Box Office Mojo notes:

Adjusted for ticket price inflation, though, Scream 2Scream 3,  and Freddy Vs. Jason had higher initial attendance, and, unadjusted for inflation, there have been bigger horror openings, including I Am Legend, Signs and The Village.

Whether or not this a good thing depends on how you feel about the genre, remakes, etc..

But the weekend in general has offered good news for the movie business with overall box office of $193 million, smashing last years take by almost 40% — proving that in these hard economic times people are choosing to spend their money at the movies.
