      It’s possibly a sneaky piece of marketing but Variety seem to have all the box office numbers to hand:

      On the independent scene, “Late Night With the Devil” took sixth place and summoned $2.8 million from 1,034 venues, including (and you can’t make this up) $666,666 on Sunday. This marks the biggest opening weekend for its distributor IFC Films, overtaking 2022’s “Watcher” with $826,775. The low-budget thriller stars David Dastmalchian as a late-night talk show host who keeps the cameras rolling during a live Satanic incident.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Late Night With the Devil, a found footage horror about a 1977 live television broadcast which accidentally unleashes evil into America’s living rooms, took $666,666 on Sunday in the US.

    As Variety reports, the verified takings for the film contributed to an overall $2.8m weekend take – a slightly less satanic figure.

    While Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire topped the charts with $45m in the US – and $61m globally – horror also drummed up good business elsewhere, with Sydney Sweeney’s nun frightener Immaculate debuting at number four with $5.3m.

    Dune: Part Two retained the second spot, adding to its $233m US total (it’s now on $574m globally).

    Meanwhile Kung Fu Panda 4 drops to third place after two weeks at No 1 in the US, ahead of its UK opening this Friday, with a $133m domestic total.

    Cinemas around the world are gearing up for this weekend’s release of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which is widely anticipated to ravage the Easter box office.
