The Friday the 13th remake scored big box office on the day from which it got its name, grossing $19.1 million to lead the Presidents Day holiday weekend race by a mile. Assuming early estimates hold, that sum is easily the biggest single-day gross so far in 2009. Second place on Friday went to He’s Just Not That Into You, which earned $5 mil; the romantic holdover should get a sweet bounce on Valentine’s Day. The same goes for Confessions of a Shopaholic, which brought in $4.4 mil on its opening day. Fellow new release The International, however, may never see the boost it needs: The banking thriller banked just $2.6 mil in its initial 24 hours. Friday’s totals are below, and please check back here on Sunday for a full weekend recap in the Box Office Report.
1. Friday the 13th — $19.1 mil
2. He’s Just Not That Into You — $5 mil
3. Taken — $4.7 mil
4. Confessions of a Shopaholic — $4.4 mil
5. Coraline — $3 mil

Jason’s back and bigger than ever. Bring on the sequel in 2010….
Yeah for F13!!!
Did anyone see it?? Was it good??
“The International” was really good – better than the reviews would have you believe. It’s a shame that people in this country would rather sit through crap like “Friday the 13th” and “He’s just not that into you” instead.
So let me get this straight, MJADE. Just because in your opinion The International was a good movie, then the rest of the population should agree with you. What a load of crap. It is Valentine’s weekend. People are going to go see the horror movie and the romantic movie and the movies that got the better ratings. That would not include The International.
Wow..good for the movie (Friday the 13th). Good for Jared Padalecki.
I too would want to watch F13 and HJNTIY.
Update:
1)Friday the 13th- $62 million
2)He’s Just Not That Into You- $19 million
3)Confessions of a Shopaholic- $16 million
4)Taken- $15 million
5)The International- $14 million
Where did u get your figures from KOZ? Do you work with a theater chain. So $62 mil for F13 and there is still Sun and possibly Monday left. I guess Jason has a new generation under his belt. It was a good old fashion slasher film…proof, the 80s had the best pop culture…even in movies.
I know this movie will turn out to be a great hit,it is a classic cult come back in a very strong and chill manner.

Thank you, Heather – for supporting my point so well. Cheers!
Friday the 13th wasn’t as bad as I feared it’d be. We posted our own review here:

Friday the 13th ROCKED. It was Awsome! Jared Padalecki was wonderful in the movie too. He’s also great as Sam Winchester in Supernatural. This movie was scary as hell and Jason was more brutal and scarier as ever. Best Friday the 13th ever! Go See it.
This means, since everyone went to see it, that we will get tons of sequels and tons of remakes.
No good.
