SEBRING, August 31, 2009 – The final destination for The Final Destination was at the top of the box office for the weekend of Aug. 28-30, 2009.
TFD used a variety of ways to kill young adults and teens to earn more than $28 million. The key element in its succes was the picture’s 3D, with 3D showings around the country accounting for 70 % of the film’s gross.
In Sebring, Carmike has 3D capability.
Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds fell less than 50% to earn more than $20 million and gave Tarantino his best-selling movie except for Pulp Fiction. That strong showing in Week 2 of release helped to give the Carmike a 1-2 punch locally.
However, the Fairmount won the Top Five, as Halloween II, District 9, and G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra finished 3-4-5 respectively. Halloween II raked in more than $17 million, District 9 almost 11 million, and G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra $8 million.
Have a great time at the movies!
