Box Office

YOUR WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: David Fincher’s thriller Gone Girl was the weekend's top flick, giving the director his best opening ever. But the scary-doll horror outing Annabelle (a prequel to the haunted-house hit The Conjuring) came in a close second in its bow.

  1. Gone Girl (Fox) $38m 3,014/$12,608 avg. (debut)
  2. Annabelle (New Line/WB) $37.2m 3,185/$11,680 avg. (debut)
  3. The Equalizer (Sony) $19m (-44%) 3,236/$5,871 avg. (week 2)
  4. The Boxtrolls (Focus) $12.4m (-28%) 3,464/$3,587 avg. (week 2)
  5. The Maze Runner (Fox) $12m (-31%) 3,605/$3,329 avg. (week 3)

The only other Top 10 debut was the post-rapture drama Left Behind, which the Daily Beast described as “a terrible Christian movie starring Nicolas Cage”; it earned $6.8m in its first frame. (10/6a)
