The Butler took in $20 million total, earning its third weekend in the top spot, compared to $18 million for This Is Us.

In third place was We’re The Millers, which earned $16.3 million over the four days.

Planes and Instructions Not Included came in fourth and fifth, respectively, with a total of $10.5 million and $10.3 million.

Rounding out the Top 10 were Elysium ($8.2 million), The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones ($6.8 million), The World’s End ($6.5 million), Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters ($5.9 million), Getaway ($5.5 million), and Closed Circuit ($3.1 million).
