Summer is officially over across the pond as the Labor Day weekend represents the last gasps of sunny blockbuster season.

The Final Destination stuck around for a second week at the top of the charts, earning $12.3 million for a current total of $47.4 million. Looks like it won't be that final…

Inglourious Basterds also held on well, managing $11.6 million in its third weekend, enough to put it ahead of Sandra Bullock's new rom com All About Steve, which made $11.2 million.

The latest from the Crank directors - Gamer - launched in fourth place with $9.1 million, while District 9 nabbed $7.1 million for fifth.

The only other main new entry was Mike Judge's new pic, Extract, which grabbed $4.4 million, albeit in far fewer cinemas.
