Labor Day weekend officially signals the close of the Summer box office season, and this year's ended on, as Variety described it, "a whimper" as opposed to a bang. Tropic Thunder landed in the top spot for the third weekend in a row, pulling in an estimated $14.3 million over four days. The second spot went to Babylon A.D. which earned an estimated $12 million. The Dark Knight came in at No. 3, surpassing the $500 million mark on Sunday.
Traitor starring Don Cheadle and Guy Pearce opened this weekend and came in fifth place with $10 million, just behind The House Bunny, which came in No. 4 with $10.2 million.

i think that it's great that TT came in first again, it's showing that people do appreciate the humor of it. besides, i told a lot of people that it wasn't at all what i expected and told them they SHOULD go see it.
as for the #2 movie - i can't remember if i even ever heard of it - but i guess with the lack of movies opening this weekend - it makes sense that it could do ok.
