Around $7.1 million of that global total came from IMAX alone.<\/p>\n<p>Those numbers are way ahead of the $44 million domestic and $60 million worldwide projected totals last week. Domestically, it\u2019s also the best horror opening ever for Paramount, and the best opening ever for a February horror movie.<\/p>\n<p>The film was created with a final production budget of $45 million, meaning it has more than doubled that already and should be quite profitable before it leaves cinemas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoat\u201d was second domestically $12 million (down 29%) followed by \u201cWuthering Heights\u201d in third with $7 million (down 53%).
