The Possession Tops Box Office Again, Worst Box Office Weekend in Over Ten Years

Posted on September 9, 2012

The Possession won the box office this weekend and it didn't even need $10 million to do it. The horror film took first place with a box office take of just $9.5 million. The Possession also opened atop the box office during its debut weekend last weekend.

The Possession was followed by Lawless, which made $6 million during its second weekend in theaters.

The Words, starring Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana, opened in third place with a weak box office take of just $5 million. The film made under $2 million per theater. The Cold Light of Day had an even worse opening. It made only $1.8 million in 1,511 theaters for an average of just $1,191 per theater. You can see the complete box office report here.
