LOS ANGELES - Horror flick "Send Help" showed staying power, leading the North American box office for a second straight week with $10-million in ticket sales, industry estimates showed.
The 20th Century flick stars Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien as a woman and her boss trying to survive on a deserted island after their plane crashes.
It marks a return to the genre for director Sam Raimi, who first made his name in the 1980s with the "Evil Dead" films.
Debuting in second place at $7.2-million was rom-com "Solo Mio" starring comedian Kevin James as a groom left at the altar in Italy, Exhibitor Relations reported.
"This is an excellent opening for a romantic comedy made on a micro-budget of $4-million," said analyst David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research, noting that critics and audiences have embraced the Angel Studios film.
Post-apocalyptic Sci-fi thriller "Iron Lung" -- a video game adaptation written, directed and financed by YouTube star Mark Fischbach, known by his pseudonym Markiplier -- finished in third place at $6.7-million.
"Stray Kids: The Dominate Experience," a concert film for the K-pop boy band Stray Kids filmed at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, opened in fourth place at $5.6-million.
And in fifth place at $4.5-million was Luc Besson's English-language adaptation of "Dracula," which was released in select countries outside the United States last year.
Gross called it a "weak opening for a horror remake," noting the film's total production cost of $50-million and its modest $30-million take abroad so far.
