"Curse," part of the fright-based Conjuring Universe film franchise, took in an estimated $26.5 million for the three-day weekend, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations said on Sunday. "Curse" stars Linda Cardellini, Raymond Cruz and Patricia Velasquez in the story of a mother in 1970s Los Angeles trying to protect her children from a ghost – a story loosely based on the "Weeping Woman" tale from Mexican folklore.
Disney's new "Breakthrough" took in $11.1 million, considered a solid start for a faith-based movie. It tells the story of a mother who refuses to abandon hope after her adopted son falls into an icy lake and goes into a coma. NBA star Stephen Curry produced the film, his first such effort.
