But business remained soft overall, with revenue down 10% from a year ago. The other new movies -- Lionsgate’s Matthew McConaughey legal thriller The Lincoln Lawyer and Universal’s sci-fi comedy Paul -- grossed $13.4 million and $13.2 million, respectively.

Its gross, though, was much greater than the entire run of the last Los Angeles-set, alien invasion movie Skyline, but that picture's abject failure was an aberration of the sub-genre, not the norm.
