1. Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones opens up with strong numbers and not counting the next coming out later this year there will be plenty more down the road

2. Frozen finally takes the top spot as it has been hovering around the number 1 spot during its seven week run

3. This weekend overall has been strong with 6 movies making over $10 million

4. It looks as though after seven weeks The Hunger Games: Catching Fire has lost its steam 

5. This is the first time since the weekend of September 6th to September 8th that a film has yet to make $20 million in weekend.

        So ladies and gentlemen what do you think of the weekend box office results and what are some of your takeaways? Let me know in the comments section and let your voice be heard.
