After some slow weekends, the box office greatly rebounded this week with two successful openings of films both distributed by Sony. In first place was the animated 'Hotel Transylvania', which had the best opening ever for a September release with 43 million. It also is a rebound for star Adam Sandler after his previous movie 'That's My Boy' bombed earlier this year in June. Meanwhile, not too far behind in second place was the more mature thriller 'Looper' which opened with 21.2 Million. Meanwhile, musical comedy 'Pitch Perfect' had a solid opening at fifth place while the drama 'Won't Back Down' had a lackluster opening, placing ninth.
