BOX OFFICE

The Possession, inspired by a “true story” about demons, won the sluggish Labor Day Weekend box office.

The horror film earned the top spot with $22.8 million for the extended four-day period.

Coming in second was another new release, Lawless, starring Tom Hardy and Shia LaBeouf as Prohibition-era bootleggers.

The film took in $14.3 million, which was enough to beat third place finisher, action star bonanza The Expendables 2, with $11.5 million in ticket sales.

Fourth and fifth places went to The Bourne Legacy and ParaNorman, with $9.5 million and $9 million, respectively.

Rounding out the top 10 were family movie The Odd Life of Timothy Green ($8.3 million), The Dark Knight Rises ($8.1 million), political comedy The Campaign ($7.4 million), anti-Obama documentary 2016: Obama’s America ($7.1 million), and Hope Springs ($6.2 million).
