Ralph Breaks the Internet will remain on top of the box office for the second weekend in a row as the box office shuffles through a slow weekend.

The sequel to Wreck-It Ralph is expected to earn about $24 million in its second weekend. Its box office total will grow to about $118 million.

The sequel sees video game villain Ralph and friend Vanellope von Schweetz making the trip to the internet in search of a replacement part that can fix Vanellope's video game, Sugar Rush. Ralph and Vanellope must turn to the internet's "netizens" for help to find their way, including an entrepreneur named Yesss, the algorithm and for trendsetting site BuzzzTube.

John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Jack McBrayer, Jane Lynch, and Ed O'Neill return to reprise their roles from Wreck-It Ralph. Alan Tudyk, Gal Gadot, Taraji P. Henson, and Alfred Molina provide the voices of new characters in the sequel.

The sole major opening this weekend is supernatural horror flick The Possession of Hannah Grace. The film will open in seventh place, earning about $6.4 million from 2,065 locations after earning $2.56 million on Friday. While that may not seem like much compared to some of the big blockbusters this year, it is more than double what Sony had projected for the movie. The film's production budget is estimated to have been between $6 million and $9.5 million.

The Possession of Hannah Grace is the story of an exorcism that escalates beyond control and kills a young woman. Months later, the disfigured cadaver is delivered to a morgue worker on the graveyard shift. Now trapped in the building with the body, the morgue worker begins seeing terrible visions that lead her to believe the body is possessed by a demon or other malevolent entity.
