Reel disappointing
HOLLYWOOD studios expect this Labor Day weekend will be the lowest earning since 1998.
While official numbers for the four-day weekend won’t be out until Tuesday, and with no new releases, the weekend will likely cap the lowestearning summer since 2006 — the last time the industry saw a sub-$4 billion summer.
Some did make it out to the multiplexes over the weekend, though. Through Sunday, the R-rated actioner “The Hitman’s Bodyguard” was No. 1 for a third weekend with $10.3 million.
In second place was the horror spinoff “Annabelle: Creation,” which made $7.3 million.
