The latest in a string of horror hits from Sony, "The Messengers" bumped off the previous weekend's No. 1 flick, 20th Century Fox's "Epic Movie," which slipped to third place with $8.2 million, raising its 10-day total to $29.4 million.

It was a quiet weekend at theaters as many fans were preoccupied with Sunday's Super Bowl. The top 12 movies took in $71.6 million, down 12.5 percent compared to the same weekend last year.

"The Messengers" — starring
Dylan McDermott,
Penelope Ann Miller,
John Corbett and
Kristen Stewart — is the first English-language film from Hong Kong siblings Danny and Oxide Pang, whose horror tales include "The Eye."

It was the seventh-straight year that Sony had the No. 1 movie on Super Bowl weekend, many of them similar low-budgeted horror hits such as last year's "When a Stranger Calls." "The Messengers" was shot on a thrifty $16 million budget.

I saw this and actually enjoyed it pretty much. Kristen Stewart has come a long way from the being that "boy" in Panic Room

. Looking forward to this BD. LOTS of directionality in this one for the PCM track!

The trailer looks good. I wish it was available in AVC 1080p.
