Ridley Scott's The Martian, starring Matt Damon, added $32M this weekend, topping the North American box office. It crossed the $100M mark on Sunday and now has a 10-day domestic total of $108.7M. Must importantly, the film only an encountered a 32% from last week's debut. If it hopes to win the weekend for a third time in a row it will have to contend with two solid newcomers: Steven Spielberg's Bridge of Spies and Guillermo del Toro's Crimson Peak.

Sony's Hotel Transylvania 2 nabbed second-place with $20.3M -- $3M off Saturday's projections. Now after 3 weeks, the film has a domestic total of $116.8M.

Yesterday, box office analysts predicted Pan would scoop up at least $18M in its debut weekend, but now it looks even worse than it already was. $150M live-action fairy tale film starring Hugh Jackman will end up in third with a dismal $15.5M. Pan, go walk the plank!

Meanwhile, The Intern took fourth with $8.7M on Friday, Sicario grabbed fifth with $7.35M, Maze Runner 2 stole sixth with $5.25M, The Walk tripped into seventh with $3.65M, Black Mass took eight with $3.1M, Everest descended to ninth with $3M and The Visit scared up $2.4M for tenth-place.
