Sony reports that The Equalizer tacked on another $2.6 million on Wednesday, off 29 percent from the day prior. Denzel Washington and director Antoine Fuqua's latest hit has tallied $43.3 million in its first 6 days--22 percent more than 2 Guns at the same point in release, and 1 percent ahead of The Book of Eli.

Focus Features' and Laika Animation's The Boxtrolls added $637,338 yesterday for a 26 percent day-to-day drop. The claymation film has grossed $19.5 million in its first six days, topping the studios' Coraline by 0.6 percent and ParaNorman by 5.5 percent.

Fox's The Maze Runner slid 48.5 percent from last Wednesday to $0.91 million yesterday. That gives the young adult hit a $61.1 million domestic take, 30 percent ahead of the 13-day pace of Ender's Game.

This Is Where I Leave You eased 32 percent from last Wednesday to $637,155 yesterday. With $24.5 million in the bank, the ensemble dramedy is running 3 percent behind Trouble with the Curve.

Rounding out the top five, A Walk Among the Tombstones earned $0.41 million on Wednesday for a 55 percent week-to-week drop. The film's total stands at $22.2 million after 13 days. Unfortunately, the noirish thriller starring Liam Neeson is pacing well behind some of his recent flicks.
