Last Week’s Results

Vin Diesel captured the weekend’s top spot at the box office handily defeating the most recent week of hit Lee Daniels’ The Butler. Instructions Not Included continued to play incredibly well in major cities targeting the underserved Hispanic audience. Meanwhile, Percy Jackson, against our expectations, managed to stick it out for another week in the Top 10 proving to be one of the few late-Summer films to have legs.
