With “Thor: The Dark World” dominating the weekend box office with its $86 million opening, the box office suspense came from the race for No. 2 – and “Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa” has won it by just over $100,000.
Monday’s box-office results revealed the Johnny Knoxville comedy from MTV Films took in $11.3 million. The animated family film “Free Birds” was second at $11.18 million and the old-guy comedy “Last Vegas” came in third at $11.1 million, according to Exhibitor Relations Co.
