AMC Halloween FearFest Schedule For October 2010

by on October 5, 2010

in Entertainment, television

AMC TV LogoOf all the cable channels out there, I’ve always felt that AMC was top of the crop of free cable channels.  And October is the perfect month to pull out the stops and hit the viewers with some of the classic horror movies on the tube!  If you’re old enough, you’d remember the days that AMC was commercial free!  Alas, everything changes.

AMC is pulling out the stops and hitting you with Alien and Aliens, some Bruce Campbell, all the Friday the 13th‘s, A collection of Halloween’s and the standard collection of monsters.

Some of my favorites are airing in this Hallowed month:  Alien, Aliens, Pitch Black with Vin Diesel, Thirteen Ghosts and Tremors.  Who doesn’t love Tremors?

Check out the schedule from AMC for October 2010 after the break.  The list is first sorted by date, and then by movie name.

Weekend Box Office

Box Office Numbers from Cinema StaticDespite reviews declaring The American a slow build of a film, George Clooney pulled in the viewers with a $13M weekend.  Machete with Danny Trejo brought in $11.3M and Going the Distance nabbed itself $6.9M.

Takers, starring Hayden Christensen, Matt Dillon, Chris Brown, Zoe Saldana & Idris Elba showed some staying power with the public and squeaked into the weekend’s 2nd spot with an $11.4M weekend.

If you do the math of how many theaters each movie was in, Takers averaged just under $5200 per theater & The American just under $4600 per theater.

Title Weekend Gross
The American $13M $16.1M
Takers $11.4M $37.9M
Machete $11.3M $11.3M

Eat Pray Love $4.85M $69M
Inception $4.53M $277M

-PS:  For the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World fans, holding out in a brave but meager 807 theaters still, it brought in just under $1.6M.
