The Conjuring came, saw, and conquered this weekend. I couldn't be more happy for the team behind this effective and thought-provoking creeper picture. R.I.P.D. was fresh as a dead corpse, and Turbo placed third in the Indy 500 Box Office race. Red 2 made an appearance and didn't disappoint, although it was down on the first installment. Despicable Me 2 proved once again that audiences of all ages love the minions and their antics.
Only God Forgives (find review link at bottom of post) opened well, especially for the kind of film it is, with $315,000 at 78 theaters. Fruitvale Station held on remarkably well and rightly so (find review link at bottom of post) with $734,000 from 34 theaters. Indie films making a name for themselves!
My predictions were all over the board, making this the first weekend at LCA Film where my predicted order wasn't correct. They say all good things must come to an end, and here's to a new winning streak starting next weekend!

1. The Conjuring- $41.5 million (Review: http://licacfilm.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-conjuring-2013-review.html)
