The Purge sliced and diced its way through the competition this past weekend, exceeding all expectations to earn an estimated $36.4 million at the box office, good enough for first place.

You wouldn’t think a blockbuster director like Christopher Nolan (the Dark Knight trilogy) would have anything to do with a slasher movie, even if it’s a franchise as revered in horror circles as Friday the 13th — and in the most basic sense, you’d be right. But if a scoop by The Hollywood Reporter…
