US cinemas took a big weekend hit in competition with Hurricane Harvey and the McGregor-Mayweather fist fest. Box office takings, at $65m, were the lowest for the same weekend for 16 years, down 45% year-on-year, and down from $132m the previous weekend.
No major new releases made it worse - and distributors are also skipping the forthcoming Labor Day weekend - with the next biggie "It", Stephen King-making-clowns-lovable, opening on Spetember 8.
