Lionsgate and Millennium’s Angel Has Fallen ruled the box office during an expectedly quiet Labor Day weekend. The third entry in the action franchise generated $11.5 million over the weekend and should close out the holiday with $14.4 million.
Without any new nationwide offerings from a major Hollywood studio, those ticket sales were enough to maintain first place on domestic box office charts. After two weekends in theatres, the Gerard Butler-led Angel Has Fallen has earned $43.6 million.
Blumhouse Tilt and OTL took on the last weekend of summer, closing out popcorn season with Don’t Let Go.

The supernatural thriller debuted with $2.4 million from 920 North American theatres and is expected to finish the holiday weekend with $3 million. David Oyelowo stars as a detective working to solve the murder of his niece (portrayed by Storm Reid) when he surprisingly gets a phone call from her. Don’t Let Go premiered at Sundance under the name Relive.
The final movie to launch this summer is Forrest Film’s drama “Bennett’s War,” which is hoping to hit half a million in box office receipts through Monday. Over the weekend, the movie collected $445,151.
Labor Day weekend is not usually a busy time of the year for moviegoing, so holdovers include Universal’s Good Boys and Hobbs & Shaw and Disney’s The Lion King.
Universal’s Good Boys held steady at No 2, pocketing $9.1 million over the weekend for an estimated $11.5 million Labor Day weekend. After three weeks in theatres, the R-rated comedy has earned a solid $58 million.
