WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Insidious 2 tops the chart with a popping 41 million dollars. Poor reviews and the front-loading of a Fiday the 13th opening may make this short-lived, but against a 5 million budget, it's golden. The Family placed with a 14.5 million debut, which is lackluster, but probably enough to break even when it's done.  Riddick shows with 7 million, but that's a steep 63 percent drop from its opening.  31 million against a 38 million budget doesn't sound bad until you see it has taken in only 10 million overseas.  The Butler finishes fourth with 5.6 million and crosses the 100 million mark on its way to Oscarville.  We're The Millers hangs onto the bottom of the Top 5 with another 5.4 million and 131.6 million against a 37 million budget.
