Not much changed at the box office this Labor Day weekend, as horror film The Final Destination held on to the top spot for the second week in a row.
The Warner Bros.-New Line release pulled in $15.4 million in the four-day weekend, just enough to edge out the Quentin Tarantino film Inglorious Basterds, which took in $15.0 million.
Animated fare was in short supply, with Disney’s English-language release of Ponyo caming in 16th for the weekend. The most-recent film from Japanese animation legend Hayao Miyazaki, earned $1.8 million in its fourth weekend out. The film has earned $13.5 million in its U.S. release.
Also still in release are Disney-Pixar’s Up and Fox-Blue Sky’s Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. Up has earned $290 million domestically, while Ice Age has earned $194 million.
The three new releases this weekend were the Fox comedy All About Steve, earning $13.9 million; Gamer, which earned $11.2 million; and Extract, the new film from King of the Hill creator Mike Judge, which took in $5.3 million.
