US STOCKS-Wall St posts worst day since June on Syria concerns * Tiffany's falls after results, Goodyear up on labor contract 'The Butler' stays No. 1 For the second weekend in a row, "Lee Daniels' The Butler" dished out major blows to the new arrivals at the late summer box office. The Weinstein drama, which stars Forest Whitaker and Oprah Winfrey, fell 31 percent to $17 million this weekend, bringing "The Butler"'s gross to $52.3 million after ten days. The film isn't raking in quite as much as 2011s "The Help," which had earned $57.2 million in its first ten days (though that film opened on a Wednesday, so that total accounts for only one weekend), and it won't match "The Help"'s $169.7 million finish. Still, if word-of-mouth keeps driving slim week-to-week declines, "The Butler" has a very good chance of reaching $100 million. Even if it just misses the century mark, the film will triple its $30 million budget domestically.
