The following is courtesy of Box Office Mojo.com:

1 The Final Destination$12,435,000 $47,566,000

2 All About Steve$11,200,000 $11,200,000

3 Inglourious Basterds$10,847,000 $91,042,000

4 Gamer$9,000,000 $9,000,000

5 District 9$7,000,000 $101,274,000

6 Halloween II (2009)$5,608,000 $25,664,000

7 Julie & Julia$5,200,000 $78,840,000

8 G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra$5,100,000 $139,415,000

9 The Time Traveler's Wife$4,215,000 $54,557,000

10 Extract$4,187,000 $4,187,000

Hope you guys are having a great 3-day weekend so far.

Labor Day weekend is the official end of summer, and traditionally, one of the weakest weekends of the year. Most new openings aren't high grossers, and it doesn't look like it'll change this year. So far, none of the new offerings seem like it'll take the top spot from The Final Destination, which will like be #1 for a second week. All About Steve has opened to very brutal reviews and $11.2 mil, taking second place. Gamer has taken 4th with $9 mil to show for it's efforts, and Mike Judge's latest movie Extract has placed at #10 with $4.1 mil.

Next week gives us Tyler Perry's latest movie I Can Do Bad All By Myself, the animated feature 9, Kate Beckinsale stars in the suspense thriller Whiteout, and another remake of an '80s slasher film debuts, Sorority Row.

I've already seen everything I needed to see (District 9 and Inglourious Basterds), and everything else just looks like crap.

I'm also happy to see that District 9 made it past the 100million mark. I think it deserved the attention it got. Inglourious Basterds is creeping up there too.

I didn't think anyone was gonna post in the thread this week.

Anyway, I kinda feel bad for Mike Judge. It seems that his movies hardly get any reconition whenever they open in theaters. Looks like it's gonna happen to him again for Extract.

I think the only reason it did as much as it has is because both leads had bit hits earlier this summer. From what I understand, this movie was sitting on the shelf for about 2 years. If it wasn't for The Hangover and The Proposal hitting it big, it would been in and out in less than a month.

When you guys saw the trailer for Whiteout did you think it was a remake for The Thing?

You gotta admit the previews for Ofice Space made it look crappy back in the day.

I think All About Steve is possibly the movie with the lowest ratings this year.

True. At least Extract has the chance to open in theaters. Fox screwed him over with Idiocracy, they only released that one in a little over 100 screens.

After the first week of August. The movie was out since early June, so it was bound to happen eventually.

I have already seen Inglorious B, and will rent District 9 when it comes out. The rest is just so-so stuff that doesn't justify taking the entire fam to the movies for. Will wait till Zombie Land in October to head back to the cinema. Also good for people to support the quality films and not flock to the rest of the crap.

But the only lulz I got seeing it was when [spoiler] The Black security guard guy was like "I been trying to kill myself all day!!" [/spoiler] Everyone in the theater laughed at that part. I didn't expect it to be great, but it was just ridiculous...

I wish I could explain why I was disappointed, but all signs point back to "why did you have expectations in the first place?" Guess there's a reason for that :cry:

Extract bombed. I loved that movie, more people need to go out and see it.
