Demon thriller knocks Expendables 2 from top spot.
Proving yet again that America loves itself some exorcism movies, producer Sam Raimi's The Possession did better than expected to win the box office crown this Labor Day weekend, dethroning The Expendables 2 after two weeks on top.
Here are the weekend estimates via Rentrak:
The Possession 17.7 million
Lawless $9.7 million
The Expendables 2 $8.8 million
The Bourne Legacy $7.2 million
ParaNorman $6.6 million
The Odd Life of Timothy Green $6.1 million
The Dark Knight Rises $5.9 million
The Campaign $5.4 million
2016: Obama's America $5.1 million
Hope Springs $4.7 million
The re-release of Marvel's The Avengers into 1,700 theaters earned $1.7 million, ranking it in 14th place, but it was enough to push the superhero epic across the $1.5 billion mark worldwide.
The worst news this weekend is for The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure, the kid flick featuring Toni Braxton, Christopher Lloyd, Chazz Palminteri, Cary Elwes and Jaime Pressly. The $20 million film opened in 2,160 theaters earning just $448,000 or a mere $207 per theater average, making it the new worst ever wide release opening. Yes, even worse than Creature or Delgo.
