Much like Memorial Day weekend earlier this year, Labor Day weekend proved to be a lackluster time for theaters. Deadpool & Wolverine earned an additional $15.2 million over the weekend (its weekend total through Monday’s holiday is estimated to reach $19.5 million.) Deadpool & Wolverine‘s official new total is $603.8 million in North America and $1.25 billion globally.
With one exception, all of the weekend’s top five earners were returning films. The second-place earner this weekend was Alien: Romulus, which added $9.3 million to its total over the weekend (its weekend total through Monday’s holiday is estimated to reach $11.5 million.) So far, the Alien film has made $91 million domestically and $283.5 million worldwide. In third place was It Ends With Us, which earned an additional $7.4 million over the weekend (its estimated total through Monday is $9.5 million). The romantic drama has made $135.8 million in North America and $283.7 million worldwide.
In fourth place at the box office was Reagan, the new biopic starring Dennis Quaid as the former president. The film earned $7.4 million with an estimated $9.2 million total through Monday. In fifth place was Twisters, which reopened in 4DX theaters. The sort-of sequel added $7.1 million to its total (estimated $8.7 million through Monday). After seven weeks in theaters, Twisters has earned $259.6 million domestically and over $351 million worldwide.
Other new releases had rough openings. The sci-fi horror movie Afriad came in ninth place with $3.7 million (an estimated $4.4 million through Monday) while Tyrese Gibson and Scott Eastwood’s 1992 opened to $1.3 million (an estimated $1.65 million through Monday).
Currently, Inside Out 2 remains the highest earner of the year. Stay tuned for more updates about the 2024 box office.
