And this weekend will prove that as it shapes up to be the worst Labor Day at the box office since 2001.
It’s entirely possible that record for box office futility could already be broken over the Labor Day holiday, a weekend that is traditionally one of the lowest of the year, but with only two movies debuting, The Weinstein Compan’s Tulip Fever and Sony’s re-release of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, both arriving in less than 1,000 theaters, it seems that The Hitman’s Bodyguard will likely earn an unconventional three-peat, with a projected (and paltry) $5.7 million.
