Box office: Friday numbers put Freddy Krueger in top spot with a $15 million night

Box office: Friday numbers put Freddy Krueger in top spot with a $15 million night Well it looks like Freddy's back and the highly driven marketing campaign has worked it's box office magic as it rakes in $15 million on it's opening night. Although, the film was predicted to soar to number one on it's opening night with the always fateful date crowd, but the 15 million is an unexpected high earning for the reboot of the franchise. Critics are still killing this movie from left to right, but if it makes money, then doesn't matter if its any good or not? Don't expect it to have the same success next weekend when the Iron Man 2 opens to an expected blockbuster performance.
