Box-office update: 'Purge' beats 'Apes' with a $13 million Friday

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes collected $10.4 million last night in a rather precipitous 62 percent plunge from its $27.6 million debut last Friday, ceding the No. 1 slot to the survival-horror sequel The Purge: Anarchy, which transformed mayhem and savagery in the streets into a $13 million debut.

Another sequel—this one much more family friendly—opened in third place, with Planes: Fire and Rescue earning $6.3 million in roughly 3,800 theaters, a so-so tally for an animated film in the summer, although such films tend to do better on Saturdays and Sundays when parents are off work and can take the kids to a matinee

The raunchy comedy Sex Tape, Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel’s naughty slapstick farce, came in fourth with only $5.7 million in about 3,000 theaters.
