Tom Cruise’s new action film “American Made” will battle “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” and “It” for box-office victory this weekend, closing out what is on pace to become a record-breaking September at the domestic box office. The remaining question is whether Cruise, Pennywise the Clown of “It,” or the profane super-spies of “Kingsman” will reign over the box office as the month ends. The film will mark the latest test of Cruise’s draw as an action star with North American audiences outside the “Mission: Impossible” franchise. Despite being the biggest new release, “American Made” probably won’t steal the No. The film, starring Ellen Page and Diego Luna, is expected to gross about $8 million this weekend, according to analysts.
