Anti-Obama doc is No. 8 at box office
LOS ANGELES
Hollywood may have run out of summer hits, but an anti-Obama documentary is helping to fill the gap.
Holdover movies easily topped the weekend box office again, led by Sylvester Stallone’s “The Expendables 2” at No. 1 for the second-straight weekend with $13.5 million.
The weekend’s new wide releases were overshadowed by “2016: Obama’s America,” which expanded from limited to nationwide release and took in $6.2 million to finish at No. 8.
In second through fifth places were: “The Bourne Legacy,” $9.3 million, second; “ParaNorman,” $8.5 million, third; “The Campaign,” $7.4 million, fourth; and “The Dark Knight Rises,” $7.2 million, fifth.
