Hold the phone, another horror movie is on top at the box office.

This time around it was When a Stranger Calls, a remake of the film about a terrorized babysitter that hauled in $22 million in its debut, even over the typically slow Super Bowl weekend.

According to distributor Sony, the film actually enjoyed the best Super Bowl debut ever beating a $19 million opening from Boogeyman last year.

When a Stranger Calls didn't screen in advance for critics, as is traditionally the case when the studio expects bad reviews. But horror fans don't usually follow reviews, an industry stereotype reinforced by Stranger's box office success.
