Weekend Box Office: THE PURGE Takes First with $36.4 Million; THE INTERNSHIP Opens in Fourth Jun 9th 2013, 16:03 Between the record-breaking grosses of May and next week's Man of Steel launch, this was supposed to be a quiet weekend at the box office. Universal's The Purge had other plans. The low-budget horror film took first place and more than doubled its pre-release projections with an estimated $36.4 million from 2,536 locations. The box office bonanza did not extend to The Internship, however. The comedy opened in fourth with an estimated $18.1 million – half of what The Purge realized in 800 fewer theatres.  Title Weekend Total 1.  The Purge $36,400,000 $36.4 2.  Fast & Furious 6 $19,800,000 $202.9 3.  Now You See Me $19,500,000 $61.3 4.  The Internship $18,100,000 $18.1 5.  Epic $12,100,000 $84.1 6.  Star Trek Into Darkness $11,700,000 $200.1 7.  After Earth $11,200,000 $46.5 8.  The Hangover III $7,380,000 $102.3 9.  Iron Man 3 $5,787,000 $394.3 10.  The Great Gatsby $4,230,000 $136.1   Analysis to follow… Media files: the-purge-slice.jpg
