Nightmarish dreams seemed to have piqued the interest of the American public after the film “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” a remake of the blockbuster 1984 horror/slasher film topped the North American box office in its opening weekend – taking more than $32.9 million. The film remake has been produced by Time Warner Inc.’s New Line studio.
The movie, which features a disfigured serial killer with bladed gloves and terrorizes the teens in their dreams, still attracted people to watch this on the big screen. This was one of the top performing films in 1984.
Analysts predict that the film will take a minor drop next week due to the highly anticipated release of “Iron Man 2.” The interest will still be there according to critics because horror films continue to attract interests of people in any age group.
The slasher film is expected to do well in overseas markets.
