Ok, so We’re the Millers didn’t finish on top, but I don’t want to post another picture of Forest Whitaker on here and damn if I am going to have One Direction up there.
So Labor Day is summer’s last hoorah and people took advantage of the holiday weekend to give every movie a boost. Lee Daniels’ The Butler took first again for the third week in a close race with the One Direction movie, This is Us.
The weekend’s other big release, Getaway, was lost in the shuffle. It had to have been hard to market a kidnapped wife/racing movie starring Ethan Hawke and Selena Gomez. Yeah, it is even hard to type.
