Screen Gems' teen horror thriller flick "Prom Night" proved to be the best on the North American box office this weekend as it debuted strongly at the number one slot. According to studio estimates, the remake of the 1980 slasher thriller movie pulled in approximately $22.7 million from 2,700 theaters during its opening three-days weekend which ended Sunday, April 13 and it also has beaten its strong competitor "Street Kings" as well as dethroned last week champion "21".

Regardless of the lack of reviews, the film starring Brittany Snow and Johnathon Schaech has managed to score big and became the best scoring horror film since the release of "Saw IV" in October 2007 which took in $31.7 million. By landing on the top spot, the film about high school teenagers who are terrorized by a sadistic killer on their prom night continued Sony Pictures' domination on the box office as the film marked the third weekend the distributor nailed the #1 spot following the success garnered by "21" in the last two weeks.
