For Labor Day weekend, major studios skipped new releases, and holdovers 'Angel Has Fallen,' 'The Lion King' and 'Good Boys' took the top three spots.
The long Labor Day weekend box office, historically one of the slowest periods of the year for cinemas, was notably devoid of new releases from the major studios.
At No. 4, Universal’s “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” added $6.3 million in its fifth weekend for a cumulative $157 million. It has grossed $684.2 million to date in global receipts. The film was resurrected this weekend with the addition of four minutes of new footage as well as 2,154 more theaters for a total of 3,162. The film’s re-release came just before Sony and Marvel Studios decided to part ways, unceremoniously dumping the webslinger from future Avengers films.
Among the newcomers, OTL Releasing, a sublabel of Universal, released the R-rated Blumhouse Tilt thriller “Don’t Let Go” to $2.4 million across 922 theaters, landing at No. 14. Lionsgate opened the Spanish-language comedy “Tod@S Caen” in 371 locations to $1.1 million with a projected $1.3 million gross through the holiday.
