Surpassing all of my predictions, and despite a terribly slow start, Slumptember fished strong with the top box office performer, The Equalizer, raking in $35 million dollars. That may not seem as impressive as films during the Summer months, but considering how little people actually see films in September, it’s a big deal to have two weeks of this magnitude.
In second The Maze Runner is still holding strong with $17.5 million, and rounding out the top three is the other premiere, The Boxtrolls, with $17.25 million. Ooh, so close.
Hit the jump for the box office performances for the September 26-29 weekend.
