War Room dropped a slight 18% in its second week, taking in $9.3M for the three-day domestic box office and the #1 spot on the charts. As far as the opening films, A Walk in the Woods, with $8.2M, ambled past The Transporter Refueled, which made $7.2M.
Neither of those films could move Straight Outta Compton out of the #2 spot.
The last time that a film failed to open at #1, only to rise to do so later, wasn't that long ago. Inside Out, in its third weekend, took #1 over the Fourth of July holiday, finally moving past Jurassic World, in its fourth week of release.
War Room rose from second to first place thanks in part to a 34% boost in screens. The Sony title raised its total to $27.9M. Nice comparison to Heaven Is For Real and Fireproof.
Universal is reporting that Jurassic World crossed the $1B threshold at the international box office. It's only the fourth film to ever reach the milestone joining 2009's Avatar ($2.027B) 1997's Titanic, ($1.528B) and this year's Furious 7 ($1.162B).

'Jurassic World' Passes 'Avengers' For Biggest Opening Ever
The dinosaurs are definitively back on top after "Jurassic World" had a Tyrannosaurus-rex-sized opening that proved even bigger than expected.
The film brought in $208.8 million in its first weekend in theaters, That's the highest-grossing opening weekend of all time.
"Marvel's The Avengers" had previously held the domestic opening weekend record. That film opened to $207.4 million in 2012.
Chris Pratt stars in the fourth installment of the popular "Jurassic" series. Internationally, the film grossed a similarly mighty $315.3 million, bringing its international total to a record $524.1 million.

'Jurassic World' star Chris Pratt a devout Christian
Jurassic World star Chris Pratt may run from dinosaurs, but he’s not running from public opinion.
The velociraptor expert and trainer is a vocal Christian, gun supporter, and hunting advocate who makes no apologies for his political and religious views.
That’s surprising for an actor who makes a living in the normally liberal town of Hollywood.
Most Hollywood conservatives have to hide in the basement and wait to express their beliefs during secret meetings of Friends of Abe Inc. The private political group was started ten years ago and keeps its membership private to prevent them being blackballed from the famously left-leaning industry, according to the New York Times.
Pratt, however, is a proud gun-toting, God-fearing actor who isn’t afraid to express his political and religious beliefs or let the world know how he feels. Maybe that’s why people love him so much.
Pratt is rumored to be Harrison Ford’s replacement as the next Indiana Jones, a role that would be great for him.
