Weekend Box-Office Report: RIDDICK Leads, THE BUTLER Follows

The sci-fi thriller "Riddick" opened in first place last weekend, while the surprise hit "The Butler" held its ground in second place. The number one movie of the previous weekend was the concert movie "One Direction: This is Us". This week, however, the film lost most of its audience and fell almost 74% compared to last weekend's opening gross. The R-rated comedy "We're the Millers" is steadily declining and is currently at #4 after being third last week.

More box-office details and the complete top 10, after the jump.
