The Labor Day weekend is not usually all that busy at multiplexes and this year it was no different. That being said, the Sam Raimi-produced horror flick The Possession still managed to drum up a decent debut all things considered, pulling in $17 million and proving that exorcism flicks still have significant appeal. John Hillcoat’s Lawless, however, was not quite as lucky, earning just $9 million ($11 million if you count Wednesday and Thursday) despite a solid cast. It was still enough to stay ahead of The Expendables 2, which fell to third, while The Bourne Legacy and ParaNorman rounded out the top 5. As for Oogieloves In The Big Balloon Adventure, it broke the record for worst opening ever for a movie in wide release (which was previously held by Delgo). Not a huge surprise considering that many of us hadn’t even heard of it prior to this weekend, but apparently their target audience didn’t know it existed either.
- The Possession — $17.7M
- Lawless — $9.67M
- The Expendables 2 — $8.8M
