The genre of the found footage horror pic gains yet another entry with Unfriended, out Friday. The independent project was picked up by Universal Pictures after gaining positive word of mouth on the film festival circuit. Unfriended sits at a solid 83% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Still it’s hard to see Unfriended making much of a splash at the box office. I don’t see it quite reaching the $15 million earned by Woman in Black 2 earlier this year. Younger viewers may choose to wait to watch it on their computer screens which, by the way, is where this movie entirely takes place on. I’ll predict Unfriended manages to reach double digits and probably fade rather quickly.
Unfriended opening weekend prediction: $12.6 million
