“The winner of the slower Labor Day weekend, however, was ‘War Room,’” the Los Angeles Times reports. “The film jumped to No. 1 in its second weekend after pulling in an estimated $9.4 million Friday through Sunday from a modest 1,526 locations, according to early figures. If Labor Day estimates hold, the film will reach an estimated domestic total of nearly $28 million by the end of Monday…Universal Pictures’ hit musical biopic ‘Straight Outta Compton,’ which dropped 33% in ticket sales from last weekend, added $8.8 million over the three-day weekend, raising its domestic total to $147.8 million.”

Straight Outta Compton, which detailed the rise of N.W.A and Ruthless Records, spent three weeks at number one before losing the number one spot to War Room over the weekend.
