Deadpool & Wolverine Leads Labor Day Box Office

The summer box office season concluded with 'Deadpool & Wolverine' dominating the Labor Day weekend, earning $15.2 million over three days and a total of $19.5 million through Monday, bringing its domestic total to $603.8 million and worldwide gross to $1.25 billion. This marks its sixth weekend at the top, making it the second highest-grossing film of the year, trailing only 'Inside Out 2'. Other notable films included 'Alien: Romulus' in second place with $9.3 million, and the biopic 'Reagan' which debuted in fourth with $7.4 million despite mixed reviews. The overall box office saw a decline compared to previous years, with revenues down 14.3% from 2023 and 26.6% from 2019.
