Weekly Box Office Round-Up: Straight Outta the Bank

This weekend, We Are Your Friends, No Escape and War Room opened in theaters. Let's take a look at this past weekend's box office. #1 Straight Outta Compton - $13,240,000 In its third week, Straight Outta Compton came in first place. This is the third consecutive week Compton has been number one at the box office. No one expected this film to be as big as it's been. It has so far made over $140 million dollars, which is fantastic for its smaller budget. This movie has a great social message about police brutality, freedom of speech and racism, and it's a film that should be seen. It may even get some Oscar buzz later in the year. I am thrilled for Compton 's success, and I hope it goes on to make even more money. You can read our review here . #2 War Room - $11,000,000 In its opening weekend, War Room came in second place. This movie came out of nowhere, and was the highest grossing film for Friday. It had a $3 million dollar budget,
