Box Office Top 20: 'Hitman's Bodyguard' wins slow Labor Day
"The Hitman's Bodyguard" once again reigned over a slow weekend at the box office, topping the charts for a third weekend with $10.5 million. With no major releases across the Labor Day holiday weekend, holdovers populated the top five, with the horror pic "Annabelle: Creation" in second with $7.5 million.
Third place went to the crime drama "Wind River," with $6.2 million, while fourth was occupied by the animated "Leap!" with $4.8 million. "Logan Lucky," the heist comedy from Steven Soderbergh, rounded out the top five with $4.4 million.
