The second weekend of the N.W.A. biopic "Straight Outta Compton" easily trounced three new releases this past weekend, the rap drama taking in a further $26.7 million and pushing the film already up to a $111.5 million domestic haul. Second place went to the still robustly performing "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation" which scored just shy of $12 million as is up to $158 million domestic. "Sinister 2" performed the best of the newcomers in third with $10.6 million, a far cry from the first film's $18 million, but around equal to the film's production budget which means it'll still be profitable. "Hitman: Agent 47" fizzled at launch, the poorly reviewed film nabbed $8.2 million on opening - quite a bit behind the $13.1 million opening of the 2007 film.
