Trainwreck took the fourth slot with 17.3MM on a 42 percent drop and will likely make a tidy profit in theaters.  Southpaw rounds out the Top 5 with a surprisingly good 16.5MM against a 30MM budget.  Just below the fold, the debut of Paper Towns took in 12.5MM against a 12MM budget, which is good news for the teen-lit flick and its studio.
