'Outta Compton' is still top draw; Efron effort flops
NEW YORK — The Christian drama “War Room” made a surprise bid for the weekend box-office lead, Zac Efron’s music drama “We Are Your Friends” fell flat and “Straight Outta Compton” keeps chugging along.

1. “Outta Compton,” $13.2 million
2. “War Room,” $11 million
3. “Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation,” $8.3 million
4. “No Escape,” $8.3 million.
5. “Sinister 2,” $4.7 million.
