Paramount’s Paranormal Activity continued to lead the box office with ease on Monday. The break-out horror film grossed $1.85 million for the day, which was down 62 percent from Sunday and down a slim 6 percent from last Monday. Both decreases represented the smallest experienced by any film in wide release yesterday, though the film’s Monday to Monday decline was aided greatly by playing in an additional 1,182 locations. Paranormal Activity has grossed a very impressive $63.43 million in 32 days and should continue to hold up very well this week as Halloween approaches.

Law Abiding Citizen was up two spots from its fourth place showing over the weekend to finish in second on Monday. The R-rated film from Overture starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler grossed $1.06 million, which was down 65 percent from Sunday and down a solid 38 percent from last Monday. Law Abiding Citizen has grossed a better than expected $41.07 million in 11 days, which already makes it the highest grossing film to date in Overture’s young history as a distributor (the studio’s previous best being the $40.08 million gross of last year’s Righteous Kill).

Another R-rated film occupied third place, as Lionsgate’s Saw VI grossed $0.89 million for the day. That was down 64 percent and up one spot from Sunday’s performance (though the film was down one spot from its second place finish for the entire weekend). Saw VI has grossed a very disappointing $15.01 million through four days, as moviegoers have clearly chosen both Paranormal Activity and Law Abiding Citizen instead for their late October thrills. Saw VI is currently running 53 percent behind the pace of last year’s Saw V.

Warner’s Where the Wild Things Are finished in fourth with $0.83 million. That was down 77 percent from Sunday and down a steep 58 percent from last Monday. Thus far Where the Wild Things Are hasn’t been family friendly enough to register huge Saturday and Sunday grosses, but at the same time in skewing at least partially towards younger audiences the film is also experiencing large Monday declines. That combination, on top of mixed word of mouth, is taking a toll on the film’s holding power.

Couples Retreat rounded out the day’s top five with $0.69 million. After experiencing a notable decline in its second week, the PG-13 comedy from Universal stabilized nicely this past weekend. As a result Couples Retreat was down just 36 percent from last Monday and is in better shape to reach the $100 million milestone by the end of its run. Couples Retreat has grossed $78.43 million in 18 days, placing it $21.57 million away from $100 million.
