It was a repeat winner at the box office this weekend as Lee Daniels’ The Butler only fell off 30% and took the top spot with $17 million. We’re the Millers came in second with $13.5 million and is headed towards the $100 million mark next week.
The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones proved to be another pretender to the Twilight “tween” throne only grossing $9.3 million and $14 million since last Wednesday.
The World’s End was the big winner of all the new releases. Even though it only grossed $8.9 million, it did so in half the theaters (1,500) of the other big releases. It will certainly have a big take overseas just like Hot Fuzz back in 2007.
