Riddick easily topped a weekend with no other new major releases. Its $18.7 million opening is less than Chronicles of Riddick's $24.3 million, but its much lower $38 million budget ensures more profitability. Like most concert films, One Direction was very frontloaded and dropped to sixth in its second weekend. The Butler remains in second with $8.9 million while We're the Millers was barely beaten by the expanding Instructions Not Included, which beat its last weekend and rose from fifth to third with $8.1 million. INI has already become America's tenth-highest grossing foreign language film (#1 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon's $128 million more than doubles the gross of #2 Life Is Beautiful). Millers $123.8 million total makes it the second-highest grossing August comedy following American Pie 2's $145 million. This is the End was rereleased in about 2,000 theaters and is only about one million away from $100 million. Next week, The Family could steal comedy fans away from Millers, and Conjuring director James Wan will likely have a second 2013 hit with his Insidious sequel. See how other movies performed here.
