Weekend box office estimates for September 20 - 22: Prisoners holds audience captive

Prisoners captured the most attention and grossed an estimated $21.4 million. Battle of the Year is no Step Up and landed in fifth with $5 million and its gross won't even match its low $20 million budget. Insidious Chapter 2 is a success but is no Conjuring. It still took second with $14.5 million, but is already over $20 million behind the director's last hit. Wizard of Oz's 3D/IMAX reissue made about $3 million on 318 screens. Enough Said and Rush both grossed around $200,000 in a handful of theaters. Their star power and critical acclaim should make them limited release hits once they expand.
