1) Gone Girl- 40M Weekend, 40M Total
The anticipation for Gone Girl is at a fever pitch. Normally movies like this don’t open very big, but Gone Girl will prove to be an exception. It’s also the movie that you don’t want spoiled for you, so you’ll rush out and see it before anyone can. There isn’t anything really to compare it to, except last years Gravity, which blew away all expectations. Gone Girl will follow in those footsteps.
2) Annabelle- 22M Weekend, 22M Total
The Conjuring spinoff should do OK this weekend.
3) The Equalizer- 17M Weekend, 63M Total

5) The Boxtrolls- 11M Weekend, 31M Total
6) Left Behind- 6M Weekend, 6M Total
