Tuesday Daily Box Office Rally
‘Takers’ leads a terrific Tuesday for Sony Pictures which gives them the number one film for the day and gives ‘The Other Guys’ $100 million status as it becomes the 12th summer film this year to cross the box office milestone.
First Place – ‘Takers‘ takes the top spot at the Tuesday box office with $1.74 million after a photo finish for the weekend with ‘The Last Exorcism’ as the Paul Walker ensemble heist drama brings its savings account to $24.01 million.
Second Place – ‘The Last Exorcism‘ scares up a devilish $1.25 million in its fourth day of release against a total of $22.98 million after a roller-coaster ride of a weekend that saw its fortunes rise on Friday and drop on Saturday and Sunday.
Third Place – ‘Eat Pray Love‘ moved up from fourth place with a Tuesday total $1.05 million and a domestic cumulative $62.4 million.
