Produced for less than $1 million and distributed by Paramount’s Insurge label, The Devil Inside scared up $33.7 million from 2,285 locations. That’s the third-highest January opening ever behind Cloverfield ($40.1 million) and the Star Wars (Special Edition) re-release ($35.9 million). It was also the fifth-best debut ever for a supernatural horror movie behind the last two Paranormal Activity movies, The Grudge and The Ring Two.
