“Nightcrawler” Movie Salee Come in at $10.9 million – Unique Times
“Nightcrawler”, a dark crime thriller starring Jake Gyllenhaal as a freelance cameraman in the high-speed world of siren-chasing journalism, topped sluggish weekend domestic box office charts with $10.9 million in ticket sales.
“Ouija”, last weekend’s box office leader, was second by a razor-thin margin, selling just $8,760 fewer in tickets in a weekend slowed by candy-gathering Halloween revelers, according to estimates from tracking firm Rentrak. The top two films could swap places with “Ouija” on top once actual box office numbers are compiled after Sunday’s showings.
“All eyes will be on this Monday to see how these rankings shake out,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Rentrak.
The World War Two war film “Fury” was third with $9.1 million for the three days from Friday through Sunday in the United States and Canada.
The 33-year old Gyllenhaal, who also produced “Nightcrawler”, lost 30 pounds to play the role of Louis Bloom as an unemployed misfit who finds success as a cameraman in the sometimes violent world of local TV news.
