'The Possession' tops slowest box office weekend of 2012

Washington, September 10 (ANI): Even though last week's number one movie 'The Possession' topped the weekend box office for the second week in a row, it earned a meagre 9.5 million dollars. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the number two flick 'Lawless' pulled in 6 million dollars. Even the "Sexiest Man Alive" - Bradley Cooper - failed to lure moviegoers to the box office this weekend. On the slowest weekend this year at the theatres thus far, Cooper's 'The Words' debuted to lacklustre ticket sales with just 5-million-dollar earnings. Total box office revenues are expected to total no more than 67 million dollars, making this weekend the lowest earning since the one just after the attacks on September 11, 2001," Us Weekly reported. The anti-Obama documentary '2016: Obama's America' managed to become the second-highest earning political documentary of all time, having brought in a total of 26 million dollars so far. The top 10 movies at the weekend box office were: The Possession - 9.5 million dollars Lawless - 6 million dollars The Words - 5 million dollars The Expendables 2 - 4.8 million dollars The Bourne Legacy - 4 million dollars ParaNorman - 3.8 million dollars The Odd Life of Timothy Green - 3.7 million dollars The Campaign - 3.5 million dollars The Dark Knight Rises - 3.3 million dollars 2016: Obama's America - 3.28 million dollars (ANI)
