Holiday Box Office - Labor Day Weekend

By Scott Gwin: 2009-09-08 06:54:27
Holiday Box Office - Labor Day Weekend It’s official. Summer is over. Well, at the box office anyway. The final numbers from summer’s final weekend are in. What ended up being another lackluster Labor Day weekend wasn’t kind to newcomers, none of whom could break into the number one or number two spot for the full four day weekend.

To give you an idea of how slow Labor Day weekends are, despite their unimpressive debuts, All About Steve ranked the sixth highest all-time holiday opening and Gamer came in tenth. It’s clearly a dumping ground for Hollywood’s unwanted summer baggage.

But it was a big weekend for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen which crossed the $400 million threshold in domestic sales. It’s one of only nine movies in American history to break that line and it currently sits as the ninth highest grossing movie of all time. In a couple of weeks it should sneak into eighth place surpassing Spider-man’s $403 million total.

For those of you numbers geeks wondering how the Transformers sequel stacks up when inflation is adjusted (which closer reflects the number of people who saw a movie instead of how much they paid), “Box Office Mojo” puts it at #67, just a little higher than Lady and the Tramp.
