The Possession Burns Up the Box Office

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:

  1. The Possession 17.7 million
  2. Lawless $9.7 million
  3. The Expendables 2 $8.8 million
  4. The Bourne Legacy $7.2 million
  5. ParaNorman $6.6 million
  6. The Odd Life of Timothy Green $6.1 million
  7. The Dark Knight Rises $5.9 million
  8. The Campaign $5.4 million
  9. 2016: Obama's America $5.1 million
  10. 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.

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.
