YOUR WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: The latest dystopian Young Adult adaptation, Fox’s The Maze Runner, sprinted to the top of the box-office heap in its opening frame, while the bow of dark Liam Neeson thriller A Walk Among the Tombstones, unsurprisingly, fell short of the star’s recent action vehicles. Another debut, the family comedy This Is Where I Leave You, also underperformed. Meanwhile, Disney’s Guardians of the Galaxy landed at #6; more importantly, it became the fourth top-grossing Marvel flick, after The Avengers and two entries in the Iron Man trilogy.
Meanwhile, Kevin Smith’s cult-horror outing Tusk bombed, taking in less than $900k on 602 screens. The title may have led moviegoers to expect a film version of the Fleetwood Mac album. (9/22a)
