Guardians of the Galaxy tops the US box office after a lacklustre Labor Day weekend

September 1, 2014 by Luke Owen

Without much competition and a slow Labor Day Weekend, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy topped the US box office for a second week.

Guardians of the Galaxy is now the biggest movie of the year, beating out Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Michael Bay’s Transformers: Age of Extinction having added another $16.3 million over the weekend to bring its domestic total to $274.6 million. If it can maintain this 5% drop from last week, James Gunn’s space epic should have no trouble crossing the $300 million mark domestic, which would be the first film of 2014 to do so.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles remained in second place with $11.7 million while If I Stay also managed to keep third place with $9.2 million.

The highest new entry this week belonged to found footage horror movie As Above, So Below which pulled in $8.3 million. Sadly for fans of busting ghosts but the re-release of Ghostbusters didn’t quite crack the top ten, coming in at 14th with $1.6 million.

Perhaps more disappointing (at least for Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez) is that Sin City: A Dame to Kill For dropped out of the top 10 after just one week, taking a miserable $2.1 million, bringing the star-studded neo-noir’s total to just $10.7 million.

Here’s your top 10 and their domestic totals:

|Title| |Weekend| |Total| |Wk(s)|
1 Guardinas of the Galaxy $16.3 million $274.6 million 5
2 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles $11.7 million $162.4 million 4
3 If I Stay $9.2 million $29.8 million 2
4 As Above, So Below $8.3 million $8.3 million 1
5 Let’s Be Cops $8.2 million $57.3 million 2
6 The November Man $7.6 million $7.6 million 1
7 When the Game Stands Tall $5.6 million $16.3 million 2
8 The Giver $5.2 million $31.5 million 2
9 The Hundred Foot Journey $4.6 million $39.3 million 4
10 The Expendables 3 $3.5 million $33.1 million 3
