LOS ANGELES (AP)
The fright film The Possession has scared up a No. 1 debut with $17.7 million from Friday to Sunday over the long Labour Day holiday weekend.
The Lionsgate release led the last weekend of a fairly quiet season for Hollywood, with attendance down 4 per cent from summer 2011, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com.
Opening in second place with $9.7 million was the Weinstein Co bootlegging drama Lawless, starring Shia LaBeouf.
The Expendables 2 pulled in $8.8 million, falling to No. 3 after two weekends as the top draw at theatres.
Expanding to more theatres, the anti-Barack Obama documentary 2016: Obama's America, added to its haul as a surprise mini-hit leading up to the presidential election. 'Obama's America' was No. 9 with $5.1 million, raising its domestic total to $18.3 million.
