With no new wide releases, Hollywood basically took the Labor Day weekend off and put an end to a down summer movie going season.
In its third weekend at the top of the charts, the R-rated action pic "The Hitman's Bodyguard" added $10.3 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The horror pic "Annabelle: Creation" took second place with $7.3 million.
The Weinstein Company took spots three and four, with the crime drama "Wind River" in third with $5.9 million, and the animated family film "Leap!" in fourth with $4.9 million. Steven Soderbergh's "Logan Lucky" rounded out the top five with $4.4 million.
