A hot summer at the movies ended with little fanfare, as no major movies debuted over the holiday weekend.
The big picture: The 2024 summer box office got off to a slow start before gaining momentum in June, but the season's $3.67 billion haul is down more than 10% from last year, according to Comscore.
Between the lines: Megahit "Deadpool & Wolverine" scored the top spot in the four-day Labor Day weekend with $19.4 million in its sixth week of release. That put it over $600 million domestically since it hit screens.
The bottom line: Hollywood is still trying to get back to its pre-pandemic numbers.
