The Possession has won the top spot in the US box office for the second week in a row.

Starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kyra Sedgwick, the horror film led a dismal fall weekend, bringing in $9.5 million and raising its total gross to $33.3 million.

Lawless, Shia LaBeouf’s 1920s crime drama, managed to hold on to its place at number two, earning $6 million.

Bradley Cooper’s latest drama The Words made just $5 million in ticket sales, debuting at third place, while The Expendables 2 dropped one place to number four with $4.75 million.

Rounding out the top ten are political comedy The Campaign at number eight with $3.5 million, The Dark Knight Rises with an additional $3 million to its $437 million total gross at number nine, and the documentary 2016: Obama’s America at ten with $3 million.
