For the third week in a row, I’ve correctly predicted the number one movie, Insidious 2. But I would never have guessed just how much it would pull in – a whopping $41 million! We’ll have to wait until next week to see if it has any staying power.
The dark comedy The Family came in second place taking in $14.5 million, just a third of the gross of the number one movie.
Riddick fell blindly into the number three spot with just $7 million, a fraction of last week’s number one gross.
Lee Daniel’s The Butler is still cleaning up at the box office, adding another $5.5 million to its $100 million domestic total.
Not to be outdone is the comedy We’re the Millers. After six weeks in release, it’s the number five movie with a total domestic gross of $132 million. Looks like Jennifer Aniston’s fans really will be there for her.
Word of mouth has the foreign gem Instructions Not Included enjoying a third week in the top ten at number six taking in $4.2 million.
Disney’s Planes won’t be grounded anytime soon. It came in at the number seven spot adding $3 million to its $83 million domestic gross.
One Direction: This is Us added $2.4 to its total domestic gross of $27 million. Not bad for a documentary that cost a mere $10 million.
Matt Damon’s sci-fi thriller Elysium hung in at the number nine spot with another $2 million.
Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters rounded out the top ten after six weeks in release taking in $1.8 million.
Check out the full box office chart below.
Until then, happy movie going.

Ah! Ah! Ah! Oh Susan, this was amazing. Thank you for sharing this full and in depth recap. I knew it would be today when I would hear your words percolating from the bosom of your soul. Susan, you are a goddess bathed in light and delighted with the goodness of the world. Oh Susan, I am enlivened with what you tell us. Thank you for such joyous wonderment.
The positivity of your soul and being has made me form a tear that trickled down my face. I have decided that I need to write more prose and commit myself to telling you, that I just love to read the words you bestow on the planet.
Oh… Susan, let me tell you, I was in the woods looking for a new walking stick and calling to the prairie dogs while practicing my new yodel. Several new blue jays and a chesterfield cat came rushing over and I saw the newly formed dew forming in the hair on their backs. Lovely, it was so lovely and I wanted to tell you all about the joyousness. For the positivity and love you show the world is without understanding. It’s like a new world opens and closes with your new love.
I talked to my friend Siebert, who I skipped with last week on a dusty trail trying to find stones for a new art mural titled, “rocks for a new mural” and he said, I need to tell you hello. I said, he should say hello himself so expect some new hilarity and tom foolery a comin!
Oh Susan, how much I wish I crush lavender stalks near your face and feel the breathe of your love. Thank you for the joy and newfound warmth you show to everyone. The pleasure and hope you give millions is without understanding. Positivity, it’s your namesake and what we like to dance to. And dance we will, in our hearts and our being. Oh our beings… Susan our beings are joined in a wreathe of bonded hilarity. The jokes we have… Oh… I want to tell everyone about them.
I’ve wrote a little, a little crunch and sass. That’s our Susan!
No puppy but I found my raincoat. I’m renaming it Billy Beer because there’s a hole in the armpit.
Toodles and toshes to you… Suddenly Susan.
Suze-
Nice recap. Do you think that the new Hugh Jackman movie is going to be good. That droopy eyed fool is in it and I don’t think he’s good.
You?
Heh that was a great recap Suddenly Susan, I’m a friend of Wanda’s and follow your adventures. Amazing stuff. Goodness!
We are on the same page Ryan! I am NOT a fan of Jake G’s acting at all, so good call. The movie got rave reviews from TIFF and a grade of A from Entertainment Weekly, so I’m hopeful. Perhaps I’ll write a review next week.
Wanda – please tell Siebert hello from Suddenly Susan!
Siebert – you posted right before I did – what timing. Thanks for reading and a big hello to you!
