BOX OFFICE: Batfleck's GONE GIRL Shows Up In 1st; ANNABELLE Conjures Up $32M



The North American numbers are rolling in and at the top box office is David Fincher's latest film, Gone Girl . The R-rated film pulled in $13M on Friday. The 20th Century Fox film starring Ben Affleck ("Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice") is now estimated to make $35-$38 million this weekend, which is substantially higher than original mid-$20M forecasts.



Last year, The Conjuring scared up $318M at the worldwide box office. With a nice payday like that it didn't take Warner Bos. long to give a greenlight to a spinoff featuring the Annabelle doll, which had a major subplot in the 2013 horror-film. This weekend, Annabelle will finish in a close second to Gone Girl with a $32M weekend. Surprisingly, Annabelle had a better Friday than Gone Girl, with $15+ million. Both films received the same 'B' CinemaScore from audiences, despite Gone Girl getting an 86% "Fresh" score on Rotten Tomatoes and Annabelle getting a 27% "Rotten" score.



Last weekend's box office champ, Denzel Washington's The Equalizer, will finish in third with a $19M weekend after pulling in $5+M on Friday. Left Behind , which was another new arrival this weekend will finish in sixth with a $7-$8 million three-day weekend. Audiences gave the Nic Cage ("Ghost Rider") film a 'B-' CinemaScore.



Guardians of the Galaxy is still clinging to the top ten with a ninth place finish. It is estimated that the Marvel film will add another $3M to its domestic total.
