Box Office: 'The House With a Clock in Its Walls' leads with $26.8 million, 'Fahrenheit 11/9' falls flat

"The House With a Clock in Its Walls" easily topped the domestic box office in an otherwise quiet weekend at multiplexes. Eli Roth's adaptation of the popular children's book picked up a better-than-expected $26.8 million when it opened in 3,592 locations.
