Box Office Top 20: 'Steve Jobs' struggles, new films bomb

None of this weekend's new openers made much of an impact, and one, "Jem and the Holograms," which made $1.4 million, even got the dubious distinction of having the worst opening ever for a major studio movie released in over 2,000 theaters.

The $15 million "Rock the Kasbah" opened in 13th place and earned only $1.5 million, and the expensive Vin Diesel vehicle "The Last Witch Hunter" opened in fourth place with $10.8 million.

"Steve Jobs" also failed to impress in its first weekend in wide release earning only $7.1 million, despite a strong two weekends in limited release, stellar reviews and awards buzz.

Poor performances by the new films allowed "The Martian" to reclaim the top spot at the box office in its fourth weekend in theaters with $15.7 million.

Holdovers "Goosebumps" and "Bridge of Spies" took the second and third place spots.

The top 20 movies at U.S. and Canadian theaters Friday through Sunday, followed by distribution studio, gross, number of theater locations, average receipts per location, total gross and number of weeks in release, as compiled Monday by Rentrak:

"War Room," Sony, $495,934, 449 locations, $1,105 average, $66,287,144, 9 weeks.
