LOS ANGELES (AP) — "Straight Outta Compton" ceded its three-week reign at the top of the box office to the faith-based "War Room," which climbed to No. 1 with $13.4 million over a sleepy Labor Day weekend.
The Robert Redford buddy dramedy "A Walk In The Woods," based on Bill Bryson's Appalachian Trail memoir, also inched past "Compton" to take second place with $10.9 million, according to final figures reported by studios Tuesday.
"The Transporter Refueled" opened in fifth, with a tame $9 million. Although the action film only cost $21 million to produce, it seems the series isn't as compelling to moviegoers without star Jason Statham.
