Box office: 'Last Exorcism' and 'Takers' in dead heat, 'Avatar' re-release fizzles

Moviegoers wanted to get scared just as much as they wanted to enjoy a good crime caper this weekend, but very few were interested in a return trip to Pandora. Based on studio estimates released Sunday morning, indie horror film "The Last Exorcism" and heist film "Takers" were in a virtual dead heat, with both selling about $21 million worth of tickets in the U.S. and Canada for the weekend.

Senh: The Avatar re-release did ok. It was only released in 800 theaters, compared to the 2000-3000 theaters from the top two films.
