WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: The Maze Runner tops the chart with 32.5 million, a litle below industry projections, though the studio indicated it would be happy with anything over 30. That sounds about right with a 34 million budget, particularly in September. A Walk Among the Tombstones places with 13.1 million, which is pretty soft for a Liam Neeson action pic (Non-Stop opened  more than twice as big).  But with a 28 million budget, Neeson's international appeal should pull this one into the black. This Is Where I Leave You shows with 11.9 million; the cast and director would make this a disappointment, but not against a 19.8 million budget. No Good Deed drops to the fourth slot with 10.2 million; that's a 58 percent drop, but a 40.1 million total against a 13.2 million budget.  Dolphin Tale 2 rounds out the Top 5 with 9 million, on 43 percent drop suggesting this won't have the legs of the original and may even lose money.  Guardians of the Galaxy drops out of the Top 5, but enters the all-time Top 40.

THE OVERSEAS MARKETS: Note that summer staples like Lucy and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes are continuing to do do big biz in markets like China.
