Low budget film “The Conjuring” ripped the competition last night at the box office. The horror film took in over $17 million and slaughtered Ryan Reynolds “RIPD,” Bruce Willis in “Red 2,” and Kristen Wiig in “Girl Most Likely.” The latter did so poorly gave no figures for Friday night. But the other two did (and maybe they shouldn’t have). “RIPD” is RIP, ironically. It took in $4.8 million with a possible $12 million weekend. Goodnight! And “Red 2” didn’t do much better: $6.34 million. If they make $18 mil for the weekend, they’ll be happy. Paradoxically, Adam Sandler’s awful “Grown Ups 2” hangs in there in the top 5. And there are three sequels in the top 10. More details on Sunday morning…
