There's no way "Texas Chainsaw 3D" can be part of this list. It might have narrowly reached profitable areas, but it made way less than everyone involved hoped. Not enough for a relatively expensive 3D (!) reboot of a classic, with a series of sequels and earlier reboots in the years between said classic and this film. There's a reason the early announcement of a sequel has led to nothing so far. The second week drop was just extremely telling.

Let's admit it was more quite decent though.

By the way I really don't share your excitement about "The town…". Because they said it would be meta (codename for derivative and tongue in cheek) and because Gomez-Rejon directed the most unimaginative and phony AHS episode (which is a lot to say considering how bad this show actually is). Just sayin.
