    Sony's remake of "Evil Dead" performed better than expected, but fell just below the best horror film opening of the year.

    'Evil Dead' Leads Friday Pack, 'Jurassic Park 3D' Stomps in Second

    "The Evil Dead" opened well enough on Friday to make it a likely fifth horror-related film to make #1 in 2013.
