Capping a close race at the box office, David Fincher’s R-rated adult drama Gone Girl topped horror spinoff Annabelle as both movies did far better than expected. Gone Girl took in an estimated $38 million, marking one of the best showings for Ben Affleck,despite his lackluster performance in the adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s popular novel.
