We Are Your Friends had taken $1,424 per screen on its opening last weekend, but dropped to 22nd in the b0x office takings this weekend, having pulled in just $335,000 so far.
A Walk In The Woods, based on travel writer Bill Bryson’s book of the same name, managed $500,000 on its opening weekend to be the second highest grossing new release of the week after Compton, which was the only film to break the million-dollar barrier.
Jake Gyllenhall film Southpaw managed $712,000 in second spot, while Aussie flick Last Cab to Darwin hung around in the top ten with $442,056 on 218 screens.
