Well, I sorta knew this movie would be very successful regardless of what the critics said, and congrats to Chris Brown: He currently has the number 1 song in the country (Dueces) and the number 1 movie. Way to turn things around!
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Sony Picture’s heist film “Takers” grabbed the No. 1 spot at North American box offices over the weekend, overtaking psychological thriller “The Last Exorcism” in a turnabout from early studio estimates.
Final box office figures released on Monday showed “Takers” raking in $20.51 million, just edging out Lionsgate’s “Last Exorcism,” which had a haul of $20.36.
Sunday’s estimates put “Last Exorcism” at $21.3 million, a slim $300,000 advantage over “Takers” with $21 million.
