Box Office Breakdown! Suicide Squad Holds On For Number One! Ben-Hur Bombs! War Dogs Has No Bark! And More!
Suicide Squad slayed it again for its third week at number one with $20.7 million.
Sausage Party kept it in at number two for a second week with $15.3 million.
War Dogs took a small box office bite, opening at number three with $14.3 million.
(Editor’s Note: Perhaps pairing two of the most annoying actors in history wasn’t the best idea. Just saying. M-)
Kubo and the Two Strings lacked wonder, opening at number four with $12.6 million.

Ben-Hur was a big budget flop, opening at number five with $11.35 million.
Pete’s Dragon didn’t take flight, slipping to number six with $11.33 million (final numbers may put Pete ahead of Ben).
Bad Moms were disciplined to number seven with $8 million.
Jason Bourne remained under cover at number eight with $7.9 million.
The Secret Life of Pets went for a walk at number nine with $5.7 million.
Rounding out the top ten was Florence Foster Jenkins with $4.3 million.

Next week has a pretty bland showing of new films, but I think the new horror/thriller Don’t Breathe has what it takes for number one. Tune in to see if I’m right.
Until then, happy movie going!
