R-rated horror flicks continue to clean up this year at the box office as James Wan’s The Conjuring took hold of multiplexes with a $41.5 million debut. That’s the best opening ever for an original R-rated horror movie (the previous record was set by The Purge just one month earlier). None of the other new releases came close with Turbo falling victim to the continued success of Despicable Me 2, opening in third with a very disappointing $21.5 million. Red 2 was way down at #5 with just $18.5 million, proving that it simply could not cut it during the summer months and probably should have stuck to the fall where the original found success. The biggest failure of all, however, was R.I.P.D., which pulled in just $12.8 million. With a budget of $130 million, it looks like it will likely be the biggest bomb of the summer. Things just went from bad to worse for poor Ryan Reynolds.
