Analysts said weekend performance was poor because of the lack of any new wide releases. “The Hitman’s Bodyguard” came in at the top of the charts — bringing in more than $13 million for the long weekend, followed by “Annabelle: Creation” and “Wind River.”
"There's no sugar coating the fact that this was a very slow labor day weekend," said Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for comScore, in an interview with The Associated Press. "This was a fitting end to a rough summer."
Movie theaters in the Dayton region include The Neon in downtown Dayton, Rave Cinemas Dayton South and XD at The Greene Town Center, Rave Cinemas in Huber Heights, the Danbarry Dollar Saver in Huber Heights, and the Danbarry Dollar Saver - South Dayton.
