LOS ANGELES — “The Perfect Guy” and “The Visit” sailed past modest opening weekend expectations — and budgets — locking in debuts in the mid-$20 million range thanks in part to good timing and robust female turnout. “The Perfect Guy,” a PG-13 rated thriller starring Sanaa Lathan and Michael Ealy, secured the first place spot with $26.7 million, according to Rentrak estimates on Sunday. The Sony/Screen Gems film cost only $12 million to produce. M. Night Shyamalan's nail-biter “The Visit,” a $5 million production from micro-budget horror-makers Blumhouse, took a close second with an estimated $25.7 million for distributor Universal. In third place, “War Room” continues to prove mightily powerful with $7.4 million in its third weekend in theaters, but the faith-based categorization isn't always a sure revelation. “A Walk in the Woods” and “Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation” rounded out the top five with $4.7 million and $4.2 million, respectively. — AP
