The recent success of Hollywood blockbuster “Don’t Breathe” has been able to press the  break buttons against the ongoing slump at the American box office.

It was a good thriller  movie that everybody liked. The primary cause of the worst slump that hit the box  office was due to the release of a plethora of mediocre movies.

However, the last  week’s horror thriller Don’t Breathe still managed to attain its place in the number  one slot for a second time in a row.

One major factor that played a crucial role in deciding the fate of majority of movies was that people ignored all new releases until  they heard something special about them.

All the credit goes to Sony entertainment for retaining the crown back on its name. As per an estimate, the movie (Don’t Breathe) slipped almost 41% to a figure of $15.7 M and pushing the cumulative audience up to a whopping $51.1 M.

If the graph continues to go steeper then the figure might cross the mammoth $80 M mark. Nobody had expected that this home invasion horror thriller is going to prove such a mega hit.

If we discuss about the series of some recent blockbusters that were successful in registering all time hits at the box office, then there comes a few names that moviegoers would still like to consider.
