Sony’s faith-based drama “War Room” has the edge on N.W.A biopic “Straight Outta Compton” with $9.3 million to lead the modest U.S. box office over the Friday-Sunday week- end.

Chris Brown Says He Was Not Scheduled To Perform At Black Gay Pride Event
Chris Brown says he never cancelled a show during ATL Black Gay Pride Weekend ... because he was never sched- uled to perform in the first place, but the event promoter claims otherwise.
Brown’s reps say he was in Atlanta for his "One Hell of a Nite" tour last weekend ... in a totally different venue from the Pride event, which was organ- ized by Traxx Girls, a lesbian owned and operated entertain- ment company.
Traxx claims it paid Brown to perform for the 4,000 women at the Georgia Freight Depot -- and when he no- showed ... Fetty Wap stepped in at the last minute.
Brown's people say the
CHRIS BROWN
event promoter's story is com- pletely fabricated ... claiming Traxx just slapped Breezy's name on posters and flyers to drum up interest in the show, and now it's just trying to save face with customers.
Traxx reps won't say how much cash they paid Brown ... oriftheyplantosuetogetit back.
Once again, rumors of drama and ratchet-behavior have emerged from the set of the “Real Housewives of At- lanta.”
This time, the foolishness involves bitter foes Cynthia Bailey and Porsha Williams. Both women are said to have been on a boat re- cently taping a scene for RHOA when they got into a heated discussion that esca- lated into Cynthia kicking Porsha in the stomach.
Bailey tried to diffuse the simmering tension by walking to the other side of the boat, but Williams followed. Williams was restrained by producers before she could re- spond.
Cynthia may not make it a full season, and she's already on the verge of following in Porsha Williams' footsteps -- as in, getting demoted.
In the wake of the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" fight - - where Cynthia kicked Por- sha -- production sources tell us show honchos are review- ing footage of the incident and
