Box Office Top 20: 'Compton' dominates, Efron movie flops

The faith-based family drama "War Room" outshone its competition despite a relatively quiet release, taking the second place spot with $11.4 million from only 1,135 locations. The PG-rated film lost the top spot to "Straight Outta Compton," which is still playing in over 3,000 theaters, but flew past its modest $3.5 million budget on a relatively limited number of screens.

Other new releases didn't fare so well. Warner Bros.' electronic dance music drama movie "We Are Your Friends" bombed with only $1.8 million, making it one of the worst openings of all time for a film in wide release. Starring Zac Efron, "We Are Your Friends" cost a modest $6 million to produce, but Warner Bros. only spent $2 million to acquire it.

The Owen Wilson thriller "No Escape" opened in fourth with modest $8.1 million from weekend. The Weinstein Company film has earned $10.2 million since its Wednesday opening.

"Straight Outta Compton," meanwhile, celebrated its third weekend at No. 1 with $13.1 million, bringing its domestic total to $134 million.
