A scare film about demonic activities, purportedly based on a true story, was number one at the movie box office with an unimpressive total of $9.5 million, down 46% from its opening last weekend.

“Lawless,” the story of a moonshining family in West Virgina based on a book called “The Wettest County In the World,” was number two with $6.0 million.

A brand new film about plagiarism in the business of writing and publishing, “The Words,” came in a disappointing third with just $5.0 million.

“The Expendables 2″ with Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham came in fourth place with $4.8 million. In fifth spot with $4.0 million was “The Bourne Legacy.” For more on all the numbers from the weekend box office, click on link below.
