It was another big win for James Wan this past weekend as Insidious: Chapter 2 became his second horror movie to open with over $40 million in 2013. The sequel earned $41 million which is three times what the original made and also the second highest September opening ever (Hotel Transylvania made $42.5 million last year). Considering that the movie cost just $5 million to produce, I think FilmDistrict will be very happy with that return. In a distant second, The Family earned $14.5 million, which is actually Luc Besson’s second best debut ever. Elsewhere, Riddick dropped to #3 and Lee Daniels’ The Butler fell to #4, while We’re the Millers is somehow still hanging in the top 5.

1. Insidious: Chapter 2 — $41M
2. The Family — $14.5M
3. Riddick — $7.01M
4. The Butler — $5.58M
5. We’re the Millers — $5.42M
6. Instructions Not Included — $4.25M
7. Planes — $3.07M
8. One Direction: This Is Us — $2.4M
9. Elysium — $2.05M
10. Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters — $1.82M
