Labor Day weekend is the dregs for box office tracking, meaning boy band One Direciton may well find themselves at the top of a lackluster box office with The Butler a close second. Getaway hasn’t gotten much marketing, so I don’t expect it to do well while Closed Circuit has had virtually none and is opening on fewer than 1,000 screens, which means a finish outside the Top Ten is likely.

Individual Commentaries

Wesley Lovell: The worst weekend of the year is almost always Labor Day where most studios dump the worst of their Summer worst. Passion is the only film opening this weekend that promises to be of higher calibre than your standard Summer fare, though I Declare War might just be interesting enough to come in second.
Peter J. Patrick: The Summer doldrums continue.
Tripp Burton: I see we have entered that part of August where the movie theatres become the studio’s dumping grounds.
