In a surprise upset, Takers has claimed the weekend's box office crown from The Last Exorcism.  Sunday estimates had placed The Last Exorcism as the first place film, and Takers in the second spot, but once the results were in, Takers claimed first place with $20.5 million, and the Last Exorcism had to settle for second with $20.4 million.

Regardless of who took the stop spot, though, both studios had to be happy with results that will have their movies in the black in no time.  In fact, with its $20.4 million gross, The Last Exorcism has nothing to worry about, considering its budget is a measly $1.8 million.
