WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: The Accountant topped the chart with 24.7MM, on par with The Town as the studio hoped (tho this appears to be no The Town). Kevin Hart: What Now? placed with 12MM, which is probably fine for the relatively low-budget concert movie.  The Girl on the Train showed with 12MM on a 51 percent drop, but the good news here is that it has recouped  its production budget in North America and early overseas receipts look promising.  Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children took the fourth slot with 8.MM on a 41 percent drop; it too is also finding a bigger audience abroad, though it needs a much bigger one with a 110MM budget.  Deepwater Horizon rounded out the Top Five with 6.3MM on a 45 percent drop and is in worse shape than Miss Peregrine overseas.
