The Possession Scares Up A Second Week At The Top – Biff Bam Pop’s Weekend Box Office Wrap-Up

As predicted, it was a slow and uneventful weekend at the box office, the lowest grossing one in years, which translates into a short rundown of how things went down.

For the second weekend in a row, The Possession took the top spot, though it could only muster up $9.5 million, not that it really matters. The film has already gross $33.3 million in two weeks, not a bad showing at all for a low-budget flick.

Lawless came in second place with $6 million, while the one major new release of the weekend, Bradley Cooper’s The Words, flopped in third with an abysmal $5 million opening. The Expendables 2 landed in fourth with $4.7 million, while The Bourne Legacy grossed the $100 million mark this weekend, closing out the top five with $4 million for a total North American gross of $103 million.

So, to recap, here were our predictions:

1) The Possession – $10 million
2) The Words – $7 million
3) Lawless – $5 million
4) The Expendables 2 – $4.5 million
5) The Bourne Legacy – $4 million

And here’s how the weekend turned out:

1) The Possession – $9 million
2) Lawless – $6 million
3) The Words – $5 million
4) The Expendables 2 – $4.7 million
5) The Bourne Legacy – $4 million

Next week Finding Nemo 3D and the next instalment in the Resident Evil film franchise attempt to wake up the box office. Check back on Friday to see our predictions!
