THE iPOD CLASSIC, R.I.P..

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: No Good Deed tops the chart with 24.5 million, another Screen gems mid-September special, boosted by the presence of Idris Elba. Director Will Packer has made 10 films for Screen Gems; only one has lost money, and this one doesn't look like the second.  Dolphin Tale 2 places with 16.6 million, as it's the first new family pic to open since early August. That's a bit worse than the original, butmay still make a profit if it's near as leggy as the original.  Guardians of the Galaxy drops back out of the top slt to show with 8 million, which is still above the consensus projection for this weekend.  GotG also broke the 300 million mark (600+ million in total) and stands an excellent chance of becoming marve's 3rd biggest, behind The Avengers and Iron Man 3.  Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is also leggy with another 4.8 million in the fourth slot.  Let's Be Cops also clings to the bottom of the Top 5 with another 4.3 million. The Drop's near-wide debut was enough to land in sixth place, which is alright for a more serious movie.  All in all, pretty typical mid-September behavior at the box office.
