Tech designer Abhishek Singh has made it possible for The Ring's Samara to crawl out of your television, via a new augmented reality (AR) movie experience. By utilizing Apple's new AR Kit, Singh was able to recreate the scene from The Ring film in which Samara's possession of a videotape transcends technology - not unlike Singh's expertise itself. 4c2q73

A weekend that saw something for everyone open led to quite a fruitful weekend at the box office for a trio of new arrivals.

M. Night Shyamalan has found himself back in the good graces of audiences. After a disappointing few years, The Visit helped get audiences back on board, but it has really been Split that has gotten people back in his corner. Thanks to a strong script, great performances from James McAvoy and Anya Taylor-Joy, and an ending that left people buzzing, Split has been a surprising box office machine.

Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Rings

Despite the arrival of a new horror film, M. Night Shyamalan's holdover thriller still reigned supreme at the box office.

Rings looks like an early success at the box office for Paramount Pictures. Its chief rival, the hit M. Night Shyamalan-directed thriller Split, continues to doing well, after topping the charts in its first two weekends in theaters. But director F. Javier Gutierrez’s revival of the Ring horror franchise has piqued the interest of fans of the first two installments.

College professor Gabriel (Johnny Galecki) has a fondness for vintage technology and picks up an old VCR while he's out one day. Working on it to repair it at home, Gabriel is surprised to discover there is an old VHS tape inside with a label reading "Watch Me". Gabriel watches the video, which consists of a series of disturbing and strange images. When it's finished, Gabriel receives a phone call from a mysterious person saying only, "Seven days." His life then becomes consumed by research on the infamous cursed video and Samara, the demonic entity who kills anyone who sees the tape.

Welcome to the Screen Rant Box Office Prediction. Every week we put together an informal list of box office picks for the weekend to offer readers a rough estimate of how new releases (and returning holdovers) will perform in theaters.

Despite the presence of some high-profile franchise installments (Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, Underworld: Blood Wars), January kicked off 2017 with a typically slow start. Yet, in a twist befitting one of his own films, M. Night Shyamalan turned out to be the month's big winner with his horror-thriller Split -- which stars James McAvoy as a kidnapper with 23 different personalities -- raking in $40 million in its opening weekend, signaling a major comeback for the once-revered filmmaker.

The Japanese horror classic Ringu and its Hollywood remake The Ring in many ways set the mold for supernatural horror in the 21st Century. Now, 15 years after The Ring introduced us to the ghostly Samara, Paramount Pictures is giving the franchise an apparent soft reboot with Rings, which hits theaters this week. Set 13 years after the events of the original, Rings promises to take audiences further into the dark mystery of Samara by revealing "a movie within the movie that no one has ever seen before."
