The murder mystery “Gone Girl” tightened its stranglehold on the box office, fending off a challenge from “Dracula Untold” and two other wide openers with an $26.8 million second weekend.
Directed by David Fincher and starring Ben Affleck, Fox and New Regency's R-rated “Gone Girl” is riding a wave of strong reviews, positive word of mouth and buzz around the dark themes and twists of Gillian Flynn's bestseller, from which it's adapted. The grosses were off less than 30 percent from its opening weekend, very impressive since keeping 50 percent is considered good.
Universal's “Dracula Untold,” an action-adventure reboot of the classic monster tale from the studio's vault, finished a strong second with $23.4 million. Disney's PG-rated family comedy “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day” opened in third with $19.1 million.
