Summary 'Ouija' squeaked past ‘Nightcrawler’ in final tallies to belatedly claim top spot at the box office.
NEW YORK (AP) - Ahead of Election Day, Hollywood had its own version of a recount. "Ouija" squeaked past "Nightcrawler" in final tallies to belatedly claim the top spot at the box office.
Estimates Sunday had the two films in a dead heat with $10.9 million each. But actual receipts Monday confirmed "Ouija" narrowly surpassed "Nightcrawler." The supernatural thriller earned $10.7 million in its second weekend, while the Jake Gyllenhaal noir took in $10.4 million.
The slim margin gave Universal s "Ouija" its second straight weekend atop the box office. The low-budget board game-adaptation has made $34.8 million in two weeks.
