Movies suffer worst box-office slump in a decade

LOS ANGELES, Sept 10: The North American box office hit a slump at the weekend, with top earner “The Possession” taking in less than 10 million dollar and what could be the gloomiest overall haul since the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington. With only a couple of new releases to tempt movie fans, horror movie “The Possession” pulled in an estimated 9.5 million dollar in the United States and Canada. (agencies)
