Weekend Report, April 8, 2013
There's nothing like nostalgia in the springtime it seems, as Fede Alvarez's somber remake of Sam Raimi's classic horror camp-fest The Evil Dead took home the weekend box office prize. The only other new release to crack the top five wasn't exactly new either; the 3D re-release of Spielberg's seminal Jurassic Park managed a 4th place finish twenty years after it first hit theaters.
