Lone Survivor opened wide this weekend after two weeks in small release, taking the top spot with little competition. With $38 million, it topped Frozen which added $15 million to its impressive $317 million total.
The Legend of Hercules was anything but legendary, debuting in fourth place with just $8 million against its $70 million budget.
August: Osage County expanded from 5 theaters to 900, and banked $7 million, enough to move into the number seven spot. That was a better result than Spike Jonze's Her. The dramatic comedy expanded to over 1,600 locations from just under 50, but only banked $5 million, just missing the top ten.
