'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' has topped the US box office for the second consecutive week.

'The Purge: Anarchy' earned the position of no. 2 with 28.4 million dollars, while 'Planes: Fire and Rescue' underwhelms with 18 million dollars; following at no. 4 was Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel's new R-rated comedy, 'Sex Tape' with 15 million dollars and 'Transformers: Age of Extinction' rounded out the top five, grossing 227.2 million dollars in its fourth weekend but Richard Linklater's 'Boyhood' quickly became a hit at the specialty box office.

Although, this weekend brought quiet a bad news for the summer box office as the revenue in North America dropped to 24 percent over the same time frame in 2013.
