Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones may have been the film tipped to lead the US box office for the opening weekend of 2014 but in the end the hyped horror flick failed to topple the hugely successful Disney animation Frozen.
Frozen is now the second most successful title of all time from Disney behind The Lion King, racking up huge ticket sales of over $600 million worldwide. Over the weekend it added another $20.7 million to it's US revenue and has accomplished the almost unheard of feat of climbing back to the top spot more than six weeks into its run.
Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones couldn't match the film's family friendly credentials but did appeal to the teen market in the last days of the Christmas holidays, pulling in an impressive $18.2 million.
Overall box office takings took a slight hit in the US thanks to the bad weather currently ravaging the East coast, with Marked Ones opening below any of the previous Paranormal Activity movies.
Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones just missed out on an opening weekend top spot in the US (Paramount)Overseas, Marked Ones performed well, debuting to $16.2 million from 24 markets, with the U.K. leading with $3.2 million.
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug fell to number three over the weekend with $16.3 million with the movie's domestic total in the US now standing at $229.6 million.
Two Oscar tipped movies, Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese team-up The Wolf of Wall Street and the all-star drama American Hustle rounded out the top five.
Keanu Reeves' fantasy thriller 47 Ronin continued to falter over the weekend though falling to number 11 in the box office chart.
