Just looking for the easiest way to say my sentence
Hello everyone!
I just want to ask you the easier way to say the following phrase (and is it correct?):
Take the box and turn it over so that its contents will fall on the floor.
I have found the verb 'to pour out' in my dictionary, but all the examples of its using are for water. And what if there are some items in that box and not water? 'to empty'?
Thank you for attention!

Take the box and turn it over so that the contents fall out on to the floor. Check you have all the contents on the list.
The contents of the box will fall out on to the floor if you turn it over. So you should keep it this way up.

Smoke can pour out of a chimney.
