'The Possession of Hannah Grace' Takes on 'Ralph' and 'Creed' This Weekend
by EG
It's going to be a quiet weekend at the box office. A low-budget horror flick, The Possession of Hannah Grace, will be the only new movie released this week, and hold-overs Ralph Breaks The Internet and Creed II will stay at the top of the charts for another week. Read on for more projections.
Thanksgiving leftovers — ergo, Ralph Breaks the Internet and Creed II — will dominate the weekend box office and lord over the sole freshman nationwide offering, Screen Gems' R-rated horror-thriller The Possession of Hannah Grace.
Disney Animation Studios' Ralph 2 should top the chart with $25 million-$30 million in its second outing, followed by Creed II with $20 million-$25 million.
Hannah Grace, previously titled Cadaver, is tracking to debut in the $5 million range, although Sony/Screen Gems are saying closer to $3 million.
The horror pic, costing less than $10 million to produce before marketing, tells the tale of a shocking exorcism that claims the life of a young woman. Months later, a morgue worker (Shay Mitchell) takes delivery of a disfigured body and, as it's locked inside the basement, begins to experience horrifying visions and a demonic force.
Directed by Diederik Van Rooijen and written by Brian Sieve, Hannah Grace also stars Grey Damon, Kirby Johnson and Stana Katic.
The two weekends after Thanksgiving are traditionally quiet in terms of new commercial offerings as Hollywood studios prepare for the Christmas crush, and this year is no different.
